A devastating mass shooting in Stockton, California, left four people dead, including three children, and 11 others injured. The tragedy unfolded during a crowded birthday celebration for a 2-year-old girl, who narrowly escaped harm. The mother, Patrice Williams, recounted the horror, saying she initially thought the gunfire was just her balloons popping. 'It was just unexpected. I don’t know what happened, and I’m just so shocked and lost,' she told the Associated Press. Authorities have confirmed that a 21-year-old and three children, aged 8, 9, and 14, lost their lives. The sheriff's office is investigating the incident, which they believe may be linked to gang activity. Williams, who is still trying to process the trauma, expressed her outrage and sadness, saying, 'They deserve to be in jail. They deserve to go to hell.' The authorities have not yet identified any suspects and are urging anyone with information to come forward. Sheriff Withrow has appealed to the community to help bring those responsible to justice, saying, 'This is a moment for our community to demonstrate that we will not tolerate this kind of conduct, where individuals can simply enter and harm children.' The investigation is ongoing, with investigators considering the shooting a 'targeted incident.' Anyone with information, including cellphone footage or eyewitness accounts, is encouraged to reach out to the sheriff's office.
