Another US incident of shooting: 3 killed, 4 injured in California

Beverly Crest: In another horrific incident of gunfire attack in the US, at least three people were killed, and four others got wounded. The shooting happened in California on Saturday morning, Associated Press reported.

Sgt. Frank Preciado of the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed the shooting happened just after 2:30 am in Beverly Crest, an upscale Los Angeles neighbourhood.

Of the seven people who were shot, four were standing outside. The three who were killed were in a vehicle.

Their identities were not released. Those who were injured were taken to a hospital and are in critical condition.

Preciado said he did not have information on what led up to the shooting or if it occurred at a residence.

This is the fourth mass shooting in California this month.

The shooting comes a week after a massacre at a dance hall in a Los Angeles suburb left 11 dead and nine wounded and only days after a gunman opened fire on a pair of mushroom farms south of San Francisco on Monday, fatally shooting seven people and wounding one.

The killings have dealt a blow to the state, which has some of the nation's toughest firearm laws and the lowest rates of gun deaths.

For the third straight year, the US 2022 recorded over 600 mass shootings in which at least four people were killed or injured, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
