""This is a very active and ongoing investigation, and information remains limited," San Joaquin County Sheriff's officials said on social media Saturday night. "Early indications suggest this may be a targeted incident, and investigators are exploring all possibilities. Detectives are actively working to determine the circumstances leading up to this tragedy.""
""It is unfathomable that there are young children who are harmed - that there is anybody who was harmed - and our hearts to out to those victims, their families and our community," she said."
""A birthday party should never be a place where families fear for their lives," Lee said. "Violence touched my life as a young person, and seeing our own children, parents and neighbors go through this shakes me deeply. Stockton is my home. These are our families. This is our community.""
Four people were killed and at least 14 others were shot Saturday night during a mass shooting at a child's birthday party near Stockton. Dispatchers received reports shortly before 6 p.m. near the 1900 block of Lucile Avenue in an unincorporated area just north of the Stockton city limits. The shooting occurred in a banquet hall in a commercial area adjacent to a Dairy Queen and other businesses. Both children and adults sustained gunshot wounds. Investigators described the case as active and ongoing and said early indications suggest the incident may have been targeted. Local officials expressed shock and pledged resources to find perpetrators.
