CLEVELAND — Eight people were shot at a graduation party Sunday on Woodbridge Avenue in Cleveland’s Clark-Fulton neighborhood, according to Cleveland police.
Officers responded at approximately 9:30 p.m. to the 3700 block of Woodbridge Avenue for shots fired.
A 23-year-old man, a 48-year-old man, a 39-year-old woman, a 24-year-old woman, a 61-year-old man, a 24-year-old man, a 46-year-old man, a 22-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman were all shot during the incident.

Witnesses told police they were outside of the residence celebrating at a graduation party and there had been a dispute with the neighbors earlier over a parking space.
Cassandra Hooks said she was in the house cooking and making plates when she heard the gunshots.
"You don’t know who to run to, that’s how many people were actually shot," Hooks said. "It turned out to be a bloodbath. A bloodbath."
Just before the shooting, witnesses reported a dark-colored sedan was seen near the house and the shooter is believed to have fled in that vehicle.
The shooting remains under investigation.
