ORINDA, Calif. (KGO) -- Four people have died and four people are injured after a Halloween night shooting during a house party in Orinda, police said.

Police said they were called to the scene at Lucille Way and Knickerbocker Lane around 10:45 p.m.

The Orinda police chief confirmed that the shooting took place at a short-term rental. The East Bay Times reports that a flyer had gone out advertising an Airbnb mansion Halloween party. The party was scheduled to start at 10 p.m. and people were asked to BYOB and BYOW, the report said. People were reportedly told to directly message the host to find the party. There were at least 100 people at the party when authorities arrived.

Police have not released any details about the victims, shooter(s) or the party hosts.

The owner of the home had no comment.

You do know the difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion don't you? The same applies to "pay" websites.
You can either buy the book or check it out free at the library, avoidance. If that option is not available and no other option is available to obtain the book without paying, evasion.

Airbnb's boss announced Saturday that the online platform, which offers private homes for rent for short periods, is banning "party houses" after a deadly shooting at a Halloween event in California.

Five people were killed and others wounded in a Thursday night shooting in Orinda, California, in a house that had been rented on Airbnb.
More than 100 people were present at the event, which was announced on social media.
"Starting today, we are banning 'party houses' and we are redoubling our efforts to combat unauthorized parties and get rid of abusive host and guest conduct, including conduct that leads to the terrible events we saw in Orinda,"
