A 13-year-old lost both of her parents over the weekend after all three family members were shot during an argument at a San Antonio house party, authorities said.

Officers responded to a call about a shooting at a house party at about 9:40 p.m. Saturday night and discovered five people had been shot, the San Antonio Police Department told CNN Sunday.

A 20-year-old man was in the front yard of the party and pulled out a gun during an argument, shooting a mother, father and their 13-year-old daughter, police said. The father then took out a gun and shot back at the man, the department said.

The father, 40, and mother, 35, both died at the scene. Their daughter was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to San Antonio police.

The initial shooter and his relative were also both shot and transferred to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

San Antonio police did not name any of the people involved.

Authorities recovered firearms at the scene of the shooting, which is still under investigation, the department said. It is unclear whether charges have been filed in connection with the incident.

As soon as you leave the scene of a conflict, and then return to the scene, there is no way that it is self defense or a stand your ground situation. You had the ability to leave and find safety. You chose to go back and fight. That should make you the aggressor.

Amazed that no charges were filed yet when the neighbor *left the argument, presumably to get a gun, and brought more people to fight*. Then he killed two people and tried for a third. Book 'em and take their entire life away to give to this 13 year old girl who will be traumatized for the rest of her life.
