A bunch of men in masks got out of a car and started shooting at a party in central California. They ended up killing four people and injured seven others before driving away, the police said on Monday.
The police went to a shooting at about 6 p.m that was reported. On Sunday in King City, the police found three men who had been shot and were dead in a front yard, according to a statement from the King City Police Department.
A woman died after someone brought her to Mee Memorial Hospital in King City, which is about 106 miles south of San Jose.
The police first said three hurt men went to Natividad Hospital in Salinas, but later they found out four more adults were also shot. They were brought to the hospital eventually.
Two people were very badly hurt and the five others were hurt but not in a life-threatening way, according to the police.
Many people were at a party outside a house when three men with dark masks and clothes came out of a silver Kia and shot at the group. The people who may have done it ran away in a car and nobody knows who they are yet.
The police are still investigating the case. The city promised to give $20,000 to anyone who helps solve the case.
Mayor Mike LeBarre said the killings are really sad for the town of about 14,000 people.
“We are very sad and we feel deeply sorry for the family and friends of the people who were killed in this violent act,” LeBarre said in a statement. “I want to let the community know that we are doing everything we can to catch the criminals and make sure they are punished. We will also keep working to stop violence from happening in the future. ”
The shooting happened on a street with a few simple houses facing an area with stores and businesses.
King City is in the southern part of Salinas Valley, which is surrounded by farms and is on the inland side of the mountains near the coast. The United States The Army’s Fort Hunter Liggett training center is spread out nearby. The city is a starting point for people to visit Pinnacles National Park.
