US:4 Killed,10 Injured at a birthday party in California
Four people have been killed in a shooting during a child’s birthday party in California, US.
The shooting occurred around 6pm on Saturday inside a banquet hall in Stockton, a city in California’s Central Valley.
Heather Brent, a spokesperson for the San Joaquin county sheriff’s office, said another 10 people were injured in the incident.
She said children are among the victims of the attack, which “may have been a targeted incident”.
Jason Lee, vice mayor of Stockton, said it was disheartening that the shooting took place at a child’s birthday party.
“A birthday party should never be a place where families fear for their lives. Violence touched my life as a young person, and seeing our own children, parents, and neighbours go through this shakes me deeply,” Lee said.
