Nov. 30 (UPI) -- Three children and one adult were killed Saturday evening in a shooting that erupted at a Stockton, Calif., banquet hall, authorities said Sunday.
The shooting occurred shortly before 6 p.m. PST at a child's birthday party near the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue, in Stockton, a city of roughly 322,000 people located about 83 miles northeast of San Francisco.
Fifteen people were confirmed shot, including the four deceased, identified only by age: an 8-year-old, a 9-year-old, a 14-year-old and a 21-year-old. As least one of the other 11 victims was in critical condition, according to authorities.
"We've had our team on the scene processing it for the past 21 hours, and while that was going on, we were actively following all the leads that we have, looking for witness statements, asking anyone to give us any video that they might have of this incident and following every lead that we have at this time," San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow told reporters Sunday afternoon at a press conference.
