SOUTH BRONX (WABC) -- A small house party quickly turned into a huge crime scene early Saturday morning in the South Bronx after two back-to-back shootings.

A 30-year-old man died at Bronx Lebanon Hospital after gunfire erupted inside the home on Clay Avenue. The hunt for the suspect continues, as the victim's family is overwhelmed with pain. According to police, a large fight broke out at the hospital with a female breaking a window of a police car, and another female arrested for assaulting an officer. Meanwhile, another shooting just a couple blocks away from the first shooting at 169th Street and Morris Ave. left several others injured.
