At least four people were killed and six wounded in a backyard shooting on Sunday evening in Fresno, California, police said. A little before 6 p.m., multiple 911 calls began coming in reporting a shooting, Lt. Bill Dooley of the Fresno Police Department told reporters. First responders arrived on the scene to find multiple victims, he said, “including deceased individuals in the backyard.” Lt. Dooley said “unknown suspects” had “snuck into the backyard,” where more than 40 friends and family were gathered to watch a football game, then opened fire before fleeing. The police have no information on a motivation or a suspect, who is still at large. The wounded were transported in to Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno; all were in critical or critical but stable condition.
