Police say three members of a family were shot to death at an Alameda home Wednesday night and several others were wounded. Some of the victims found in the home were children.
An unconfirmed number of people were shot at the home in the 400 block of Kitty Hawk Road, the Alameda Police Department said in a social media post.
Someone called police to report their neighbor had been shot and when officers arrived at the home they found a gunshot victim, authorities said. As investigators searched the home, they found other victims, including children, police said.
No additional information was available on the victims at this time. Several of them were taken to hospital, but no information was available on their condition.
Alameda police told news station KTVU that the shooting was reported around 9 p.m. and that two of the three victims who died were adults and the third was a child.
Police said the investigation into the shooting is ongoing but there was no threat to the general public.
A man was detained as a person of interest, KTVU reported, but it is unclear whether the person was officially arrested or knew the victims.
