Two teenage boys were stabbed at a house party north of Olympia early Thursday morning when two groups of attendees fought with each other.
Around 1:15 a.m., Thurston County Sheriff's Officers were called to a disturbance in the 2300 block of Dove Lane NE, between Friendly Grove Park and South Bay Road. Officers arrived to discover a house party with roughly 100 attendees, most of whom were teenagers and young adults, according to Thurston County Sheriff's Office Lt. Cameron Simper.
According to the releases, a fight had broken out between two groups at the party after a disagreement. The two groups spilled out into the front of the house where several people pulled out knives and fighting ensued, the releases reads. There, the two minors, both 17-year-old boys, were stabbed, the sheriff's office said in the release.
