Authorities in Stockton, California, are continuing the search for the suspect or suspects responsible for a mass shooting at a child's birthday party, which left four people dead and at least 11 others injured. The victims included three children, aged eight, nine and 14, as well as a 21-year-old adult. Law enforcement has appealed for witnesses and any video footage that could help identify those involved.
The shooting occurred just before 6:00pm on Saturday inside a banquet hall on the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue, where between 100 and 150 people had gathered. Deputies from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office (SJCSO) arrived to find a chaotic scene, with victims both inside and outside the building. Several vehicles in the car park had also been struck by gunfire.
