A mass shooting at a gender reveal party near Cincinnati last month was not random and is believed to be linked to three different drug rings, according to a report from WCPO-TV.

A spokesperson for the Colerain Twp. Police Department said several people at the party had connections to the drug ring and they don’t believe the public is in any danger.

Police told WCPO the investigation will be lengthy as investigators sift through text messages, emails and other evidence.

One of the victims, Cheyanne Willis, said she lost an unborn baby in the shooting, but police later determined she wasn’t pregnant.
