The scuffle soon spilled out onto the street and a little after midnight at least three shots were fired, striking three male partygoers. A 22-year-old was shot in the leg, a 19-year-old was shot in the leg and buttocks, and an 18-year-old was shot in the leg and arm. All three were taken to the hospital and are in stable condition.
