Los Angeles: Four people were killed in a mass shooting in a small desert community in U.S. state of California, local media reported Monday morning, citing police.

The shooting happened late Sunday night at a home in Mojave, a community of some 4,000 residents and about 104 kilometers east of Bakersfield, the county seat of Kern County in the southern Central Valley of the state, reported KGET-TV, a television station in Bakersfield.

The victims were men in their 20s or 30s, said the report, citing the Kern County Sheriff’s Office.
