Ten injured in California apartment shooting
San Barnardiono, Sept 3 (IBNS) : At least ten people have been shot in a mass shooting at an apartment complex in San Bernardino, California, media reports said quoting the police.
Multiple outlets, citing San Bernardino Police spokesman Capt. Richard Lawhead, reported that three of the victims were in “extremely critical” condition.
The incident took place around 7 pm on Sunday (local time).
The San Bernardino Sun newspaper reported that the shooting broke out in a crowd of people where “a game, possibly dice” was being played. People who live in the area told KCAL that it was "gang territory."
CNN quoted Lawhead saying police "believe that there was an exchange of gunfire."
The network spoke to a woman who lives nearby who said a “helicopter was circling around our street, talking on the loud speaker saying to put down the weapons.”
The Sun reported handguns and rifles were fired.
No arrests have been made, and it is unclear whether police yet have any suspects.
Lawhead however, told CNN, "We do have some people that have been transported to the station for investigative purposes, so we hope that they will yield information for us."
A spokesman for the San Bernardino Police Department said multiple weapons were fired.
