The shooting erupted around early Sunday at the large gathering.
At least eight people were injured early Sunday when gunfire broke out at a dance party being held in an industrial area of Tacoma, Washington, police said.
The shooting occurred at 12:45 a.m. at a private venue in South Tacoma, where police said the rave attracted a large crowd.
A barrage of gunfire erupted during an argument that broke out in an alley behind the venue, located in an area filled with mostly car dealerships and auto repair shops, according to police.
Police immediately closed streets around the crime scene as officers and paramedics responded and began treating the wounded.

This has become so common in the US that it doesn't even make the news anymore in my country unless there's at least 10 people dead, and even then it's only a maybe.

Seems like this whole “mass shooting of the week” thing is becoming a reality.
