Four people have been killed and 10 wounded in a mass shooting at a child’s birthday party in California last night.
The attacks, suspected to be targeted, happened during a family gathering at a banquet hall in Stockton, officials said.
Heather Brent, a spokesperson for the San Joaquin County sheriff’s office, said the victims included both children and adults.
Early indications ‘suggest this may have been a targeted incident,’ Ms Brent said during a news conference at the scene.
Stockton’s vice mayor Jason Lee wrote: ‘Tonight, my heart is heavy in a way that’s hard to put into words.
‘As Vice Mayor of Stockton — and as someone who grew up in this community — I am devastated and angry to learn about the mass shooting at a child’s birthday party.
‘A birthday party should never be a place where families fear for their lives.’
