A mass shooting in Stockton, California, has left a trail of devastation, with 15 people injured and four fatalities reported. The victims ranged in age from 8 to 21 years. In a press conference, San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow revealed that authorities believe there were multiple shooters involved in the incident, which started indoors before spilling onto the streets. While the investigation is still in its early stages, Sheriff Withrow declined to speculate on the motive behind the shooting, saying it was too soon to draw conclusions. The authorities are examining all possible angles, including the possibility of gang involvement, as suggested by Stockton Mayor Christina Fugazi. The sheriff's office has not yet identified any suspects, but a separate incident involving five individuals detained by the Stockton Police Department on the same day has raised questions. The five, including a 16-year-old, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy, weapons charges, and gang-related offenses. Meanwhile, Mayor Fugazi has increased the reward for information leading to the arrest of the shooters to $25,000. The investigation continues, with detectives working to gather evidence and identify the perpetrators. Sheriff Withrow has urged the public to come forward with any information that may aid in the case.
