One person was killed and six others were injured when gunfire broke out at a Halloween store in a shopping mall in California on Oct. 30, police said.
The "horrific shooting" occurred inside the Solano Town Center at a Spirit Halloween store in Fairfield, California, about 50 miles northeast of San Francisco, the Fairfield Police Department said. Police responded to the shooting at about 8:30 p.m.
Seven people were struck by gunfire, one of whom died at the scene, Chief Dan Marshall told reporters. All the injured were taken to hospitals, with at least three in critical condition, he said. The victims' identities and ages were not released.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims of this heartbreaking incident," Marshall
said.
Investigators are working to identify a suspect or suspects, and Marshall said late on Oct. 30 that it wasn't yet clear if there was a single suspect.
"I know the mall has cameras, so hopefully we'll get some good information," he said, asking that anyone with information or video of the incident email it to 1030mall@fairfield.ca.gov.
