KANKAKEE, Ill. (CBS) -- Two brothers were killed and five other people were wounded in a mass shooting at a New Year's Day house party early Wednesday in Kankakee.

Police said around 4:05 a.m., officers responded to reports of gunfire at 1845 Pierson Parkway, and when they arrived, they found several people running out of a New Year's party.

Four gunshot victims were found at the scene, and were taken to local hospitals. Police said three other gunshot victims took themselves to local hospitals.

Two men were later pronounced dead at the hospital – 22-year-old Quaysean T. Isom, of Kankakee, and 20-year-old Trevontae Ellis, of Pembroke Township, according to the Kankakee County Coroner's office.

Kankakee Police Chief Christopher Kidwell said one of the surviving victims was in critical condition. The other four people's injuries were not life-threatening. The victims range in age from 20 to 33.
