Jazmine Chavez, 18, shares her harrowing experience as a survivor of a mass shooting at a Pierce County house party where two people were killed and four others, including herself, were injured. The shooting erupted shortly after a fight at the party, despite earlier 911 calls about the disturbance, as deputies were occupied with other emergencies.
