Authorities are investigating a mass shooting that killed two people and injured at least 11 others early Saturday morning in North Carolina.

Several of the victims are "critically injured," according to a press release issued by Robeson County Sheriff Burnis Wilkins.

"The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office, along with multiple assisting agencies, is currently investigating a tragic shooting that occurred at a large party on Dixon Drive just outside of Maxton," Wilkins said in the release.

No information on a suspect or person of interest has been released, but Wilkins said there is no danger to the community as the incident is believed to be isolated.

Newsweek has reached out to Sheriff Wilkins by email Saturday for more information.
