Gunfire broke out at a house party in Forest County around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. Two men are in custody and police are still looking for two more suspects.

Investigators say when the suspects showed up to the party on Old Highway 32 outside of Carter, an argument started. It then led to gunfire.

Two women and a man were shot. The man was seriously hurt and airlifted to St. Joesph's.

Meanwhile, neighbors in this community say they are in disbelief that something like this could happen here. People say yellow tape and crime investigators usually aren't in their neighborhood.

If you have any information about the shooting, call the Forest County Sheriff's Department at (715) 478-3331.
