On the heels of downtown SJ World Cup watch parties devolving into violence, the city of Morgan Hill is reeling after a shooting at an out-of-control, social media-inspired party killed one and left six injured. Morgan Hill Times reports, below.

• At about 10:16pm on July 25, Santa Clara County Sheriff’s deputies responded to Hale Avenue near Miramonte Avenue for reports of intoxicated people in the street and someone throwing bottles at cars. 

• Arriving deputies found a “chaotic scene” with more than 300 partygoers hurrying to leave after several gunshots were fired. 

• One person was pronounced dead at the scene, while six other victims were transported to local hospitals. 

• The gathering was an “unsanctioned party promoted through social media,” said the sheriff’s statement.
