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.
The sheriff’s Lt. Daniel Perez was quoted as saying that deputies located “four victims suffering from traumatic assault injuries.”
