Several family members, including children, were shot in Alameda on Wednesday night, and four people are dead, in what police are investigating as a domestic incident.
At least two children were shot, and one of them, a 6-year-old, was among the victims killed, police said. Among the injured was a 1-year-old who was in critical condition.
Officers received a call from a person who said their neighbor had been shot in the 400 block of Kitty Hawk Road. When police arrived, they found a shooting victim, the Alameda Police Department said.
In addition to the child victim, two women and one man were killed, police said. A police spokesperson told NBC Bay Area it was a domestic incident, and there was no further threat to the public.
A man was taken into custody, and police said later he was related to the victims. The suspect has been identified by family as 54-year-old Shane Parrish Killian.
Preliminary investigation revealed the victims killed were the gunman's wife, child, father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"We are deeply saddened to report that three victims did not survive, and additional family members are being treated at local hospitals," said Alameda Police on Facebook Wednesday night. "At this time, there is no information to suggest there is any threat to members of the public. An investigation is ongoing and we will share more information when it is available."
