10 shot, four killed at family gathering in Fresno, California
Ten men were shot, four of them fatally, during what police say was "very likely" a targeted shooting at a backyard football watch party in Fresno, California, on Sunday night.

Police say some 35 to 40 family and friends were watching a football game in the southeast of the city when one or more people sneaked onto the property through a side access and began shooting. They did not appear to have actually entered the house, Fresno Police Deputy Chief Michael Reed told reporters.

Another tragedy, probably gang or drug related.

In less than a week two major mass shooting in California. I thought your control laws were going to prevent that. :sarcasm:

They work just as well as we expected them to, they inhibit the law abiding. I know this will be hard to accept here but, gang members don't follow laws. (sarcasm) In fact, gun laws and drug laws are necessary to their economic survival.

That area of Fresno was rough when I was growing up there (just south of the airport) and last time I was through (a couple months ago) it hadn't improved. Gangs have been an issue in Fresno since there was a Fresno. Drive by shootings were a weekly occurrence back in the 80s and 90s, all gang related.

Newsom and the CA Legislature will be along in just a few minutes to explain/spin why our gun laws ARE working. :lol:
