Police in California were working Monday, Dec. 1, to identify a suspect who opened fire at a child's birthday party over the weekend, killing four people and injuring 11 others.
The shooting erupted at a banquet hall in Stockton, California, where 100 or more people gathered for the celebration, according to San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow. He said the incident may have involved more than one shooter and appeared to be "targeted," but he did not elaborate.
Three children – ages 8, 9 and 14 – and a 21-year-old were killed in the shooting, the sheriff's office said. The shooting left 11 others injured and several of them, including children, were taken to local hospitals. Withrow said at least one person remained in critical condition.
More: 3 children among those killed in shooting at birthday party. What we know.
