Two people were killed and at least 22 were injured during a shooting late Saturday night at a house party in a suburb of Houston, Texas police said.

On Sunday, Harris County police were searching for two suspects who opened fire between 11 p.m. and midnight inside a house where more than 100 "young adults" were gathered for a party, according to the Harris County Sheriff's office.

A man and a woman were killed in the chaos and the nearly two dozen who were injured were spread out between five area hospitals, said the sheriff's office in a statement. The injuries ranged from minor to critical, the sheriff's office said.

According to NBC affiliate KPRC Houston, one of the party-goers had a gun and started shooting inside a garage attached to the house.

"Many fled the home in a panicked rush to escape," according to the Sheriff's office.

"Potential witnesses and victims were scattered" because a flood of people fled the house and ran in different directions, Deputy Thomas Gilliland, with the Harris County Sheriff's Office, told KPRC.

While most of the victims were injured by bullets, the frenzied exodus also contributed to some of the injuries, Reuters reported.

According to KPRC, the victims range in age from 14 to 22 years old.
