CAUGHT ON VIDEO: New video captures the burst of gunfire and the frantic moments after a deadly shooting during a pool party in Delaware.

Police announced on Tuesday that the party was interrupted by "uninvited guests" who were reportedly attending a nearby party in the Buckley community before the shooting. No arrests have been made in the case.

"My granddaughter is the one who came running to me and said, 'Mom-mom, that was gunshots,'" recalled Donna Votta.

Another neighbor counted at least six bullet holes in his car.
