Santa Rosa: At least one person died and three others were hurt in a shooting incident in Santa Rosa city of the US on Monday, media reports said.
Police said it was a gang-related shooting.

A silver Honda Accord drove by and witnesses told police they heard gang challenges coming from the car, then shots were fired from inside the car.
"I saw the car come down and the arm with the gun sticking out. And then shots fired from the car. That's when I hit the ground," one man told the news channel while describing the gunfight between occupants of a silver Honda Accord and others who fired back.
Within seconds, bullets hit four people including two teenagers. One of them hit 35-year-old Javier Montes in the chest, killing him. He had worked in construction, ABC 7 News reported.
