At a family celebration in Stockton, California, a shooting inside a banquet hall left four people dead and ten others injured, authorities reported on Saturday. The gathering was for a child’s birthday party, and the victims included both adults and children.
San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Heather Brent said early indications suggest the attack may have been targeted. The banquet hall, where the shooting occurred, is located in a complex that shares a parking lot with several nearby businesses.
Detectives are still investigating the motive behind the violence. While officials have not released detailed updates on the victims’ conditions, several individuals were taken to local hospitals for treatment as the investigation continues.
