Oak Park Director of Public Safety Steve Cooper said the shooting happened at a party in the area of Granzon and Coolidge. That's just south of 9 Mile and Coolidge.
According to Cooper, a 19-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman were killed. Two other women were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries; one of them was shot. Police said the two people were found dead inside the home, but there were also shots fired outside of the home.
Family members identified the female victim as Teris King, who had just celebrated her 18th birthday in June. Her family tells us that she was set to start her freshman year at Oakland University before she was shot and killed inside the Oak Park home.
Family members identified the male victim as Da'Shaun Green.
Davains Green, Da'Shaun's father, says his son spent this past summer working a part-time job to buy his own car. He was also a University of Olivet football player who was just a week-and-a-half away from returning to campus for his sophomore season. He said his son had a bright future.
"Footbal star," Davains said. "From high school, full scholarship to college...you guys took a great kid...you guys took somebody's daughter. You guys also injured somebody else's daughter, for what?"
Green's father tells me that before the shooting erupted, a group of young men was asked to leave.
"The guys left. They continued their little gathering. And the guys came back and shots were fired and from my understanding, over 40 or 50 rounds were shot," Davains said.

"On behalf of the city of Oak Park and the entire department, our heart goes out to them, our condolences and we’re committed to doing everything we can to try and find out who’s responsible for this," said Chief Steve Cooper.
The call came in just before 5 a.m., and police said there were several people outside of the location when they arrived.
According to Cooper, they believe there was some type of party going on when the shooting happened, but the circumstances leading up to the shooting were not clear.
7 News Detroit crews on the scene saw more than 30 evidence markers on the ground.
"I was getting up my mom was going to work I couldn't sleep because they were down here partying and I just heard a fully automatic going off just crazy like 40-50 shots," said Bahlil Pullen, a neighbor.
Neighbors say the violence has them on edge.
"It wasn't worth it, it's not worth your freedom. It's definitely not worth taking a life," said neighbor Brandi Williams.
Green is urging the person or people responsible to turn themselves in.
"If you got any remorse or heart just like y'all picked them guns up and came here, be a man, You know what to do," Davains said.
Police are still continuing to investigate, and anyone with information is asked to call police. As of early Monday evening, no suspects have been identified.
