At least four people were killed and 10 others were wounded in a shooting at a family party in Stockton, California, on Nov. 29, according to local police.
Gunfire erupted inside a banquet hall in California’s Central Valley, where a family had gathered to celebrate a child’s birthday party, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office said.
Several of the 14 victims, including children and adults, were taken to local hospitals. Four have been confirmed dead. Heather Brent, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said early indications suggest the shooting may have been a “targeted incident.” Police are still searching for the shooting suspect.
Here’s what we know so far.
What happened?
As of 9 a.m. ET Nov. 30, Brent told USA TODAY, the sheriff’s office had limited information about the shooting.
Police received reports of gunfire at the banquet hall shortly before 6 p.m. Nov. 29. The shooting broke out during a child’s birthday party, Brent said. It occurred at a shopping mall complex that includes a Dairy Queen, a donut shop and an Asian restaurant.
San Joaquin District Attorney Ron Frietas said at a Nov. 29 news conference, shortly after the incident, that the suspect was still at large. Officials asked anyone with information to contact the sheriff’s office.
“This is a very active and ongoing investigation," Brent said at the news conference.
