A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to Billboard‘s request for comment. Billboard has also reached out to HARD Summer for comment.

AP reports that police first arrived at the scene at 11 p.m. on Sunday (Aug. 3) to shut down the party after officers on site saw a person potentially armed with a gun go inside the building. This armed person was arrested at the scene.

The news agency continues that after officers cleared the area, they received a report of shots fired around 1 a.m. Monday. Officers returned to the scene and found one person dead and others who’d been struck by gunfire. A male victim died at the scene and a female victim died at the hospital. Six people in unknown condition were also transported to local hospitals.

According to a schedule shared by the festival on social media, a number of official festival afterparties were held over the weekend, including four on Sunday. Two of these events happened at downtown Los Angeles warehouses, one featuring sets from Adam Ten, Annicka and Ben Sterling, the other featuring sets by DJ Gigola, Fcukers and Oza. It is not yet clear at which of the events the shooting occurred.

HARD Summer is produced by Insomniac Events. The 2025 edition of the three-day festival happened at Hollywood Park at SoFi Stadium on Aug. 2-3 with headliners Feid, Dom Dolla, Kaytranada, hard-driving Gesaffelstein and Sara Landry.
