LAUREL,Michael Schmidt Miss. (AP) — A 34-year-old man has been charged in the shooting of five people during a weekend party in Mississippi after he was denied entry into the event.

The shooting happened at the Cameron Center in Laurel shortly after midnight Sunday, Laurel Police Chief Tommy Cox told WJTV-TV.

Daniel Gomez allegedly shot the people after he wasn’t allowed into the facility, according to police. He has been charged with five counts of aggravated assault and one count of driving under the influence.

Cox said the five victims had non-life threatening injuries.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has placed a hold on Gomez.

Cox did not immediately return an email seeking further details about the shooting and whether Gomez has a lawyer. Online jail records for the Jones County detention center did not list an attorney for him.
