More than 100 people attended the party at the Lafayette apartment complex, the statement said.
Officials responded to the report of multiple shots shortly before 4:30 a.m., the statement said. A fight broke out in one of the apartments.
“Police found many shell casings inside and outside the apartment and many apartments and vehicles were hit by gunfire,” the statement said.
Tippecano County Coroner Carrie Costello told CNN in an email that officials were trying to identify the dead and notify their families.
“This remains a volatile situation that continues to evolve, with additional evidence being discovered and other people and victims identified,” police said.
