Four people were killed and 10 wounded in a shooting during a family gathering at a banquet hall in Stockton, sheriff\u2019s officials said Saturday.<\/p>\n
The victims included both children and adults, said Heather Brent, a spokesperson for the San Joaquin County sheriff\u2019s office. Early indications \u201csuggest this may have been a targeted incident,\u201d Brent said during a news conference at the scene.<\/p>\n
Local officials said the suspected shooter has not been caught and pleaded with the public for help. Detectives were still working to identify a possible motive.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you have any information as to this individual, reach out immediately. If you are this individual, turn yourself in immediately,\u201d San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas said during a news conference.<\/p>\n
The shooting occurred just before 6 p.m. inside the banquet hall, which shares a parking lot with other businesses, The Associated Press reported. Stockton is a city of 320,000 about 40 miles (64 kilometers) south of Sacramento.<\/p>\n
\u201cFamilies should be together instead of at the hospital, standing next to their loved one, praying that they survive,\u201d Mayor Christina Fugazi said.<\/p>\n
Authorities did not immediately provide additional information about the conditions of the victims. Officials said earlier that several were taken to hospitals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
