USA: Four killed, one injured in shooting at house party in California
New Delhi: Four adults were killed and a fifth was injured in an early morning shooting at a house party in Inglewood, California, on Sunday. Two men and two women have died after shooters allegedly opened fire at a home on Park Avenue around 1:30 a.m. local time.
Three people were pronounced dead at the scene and two were taken to a nearby hospital, while the fourth victim died during transport.
The fifth victim, who is male, is expected to survive his injuries and has admitted to being gang-affiliated, per the outlet, he also reportedly described the incident as an “ambush,” though it is unclear who the target was.
Mayor Butts said in a Sunday news conference that at least two weapons, an assault rifle, and a handgun, were used during the attack. The incident involved the highest number of shooting victims the city has seen since the 1990s.
“This is a tragic loss for the families. The shooters were sociopathic killers that have to be sequestered from society before directing his message to the suspects at large,” Mayor said. Officials have not provided any information about potential suspects or released the identities of the victims.
