Four people have been shot dead in Fresno, California, after suspects entered a backyard party and fired into the crowd, police said.

The shooting took place at about 6pm at a residence in the south-east of the city where people were gathered to watch a football game, according to Fresno police.

Michael Reid, the deputy police chief, told the Fresno Bee and the KSEE/KGPE TV stations that 10 people had been shot, with three found dead in the backyard. A fourth victim died at the hospital.

Six others were expected to survive and were recovering at the hospital, police said. All the victims were Asian men aged 25 and 35, Reid said.

The Fresno police lieutenant, Bill Dooley, said the shooting took place at a backyard gathering of family and friends. Guests were watching football when unknown suspects approached the residence, entered the backyard and opened fire, he said.

No suspect is in custody. Police said there was no immediate indication that the victims knew the assailant or assailants.

Police were going door-to-door in search of surveillance video that might help them track down the suspects.

The gunman is still on the loose and there is no description of him?

The search for the suspect still continues

The shooting marks the third mass shooting to take place in California in the past week; the first was a shooting at a high school in Santa Clarita and the second, a family shooting in San Diego. It is the 370th mass shooting in the US in 2019.

Freedom to bear arms

Second Amendment

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

i am not passing judgement on it as i am not American but to USA very important.

"The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home."

How do these people sleep at night honestly? Just going around shooting people as of it were some sort of game. It’s a disgrace.
