"Four people were killed and at least 10 injured Saturday evening when a gunman opened fire at a family event banquet hall in Stockton. Shortly before 6 p.m., the San Joaquin County sheriff's office was flooded with 911 calls reporting a shooting, and reporting children as young as 9 who were bleeding, including a 15-year-old boy who was not breathing. Deputies responded to the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue near a Dairy Queen and found shooting victims in the parking lot."
"The sheriff's preliminary investigation suggests the incident was a targeted attack, said public information officer Heather Brent. Investigators are still considering all possibilities, she said. While ambulances were called to take victims to a hospital, others arrived there on their own, including two men who walked into St. Joseph's Medical Center with gunshot wounds. "Tonight, my heart is heavy in a way that's hard to put into words," said Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee in a statement posted on Facebook."
