According to the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office, the shooting appears to have been a targeted attack, though the motive remains unclear.
Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee said in a post on Facebook, “Tonight, my heart is heavy in a way that’s hard to put into words. As Vice Mayor of Stockton — and as someone who grew up in this community — I am devastated and angry to learn about the mass shooting at a child’s birthday party. An ice cream shop should never be a place where families fear for their lives.”
“Violence touched my life as a young person, and seeing our own children, parents, and neighbors go through this shakes me deeply. Stockton is my home. These are our families. This is our community,” Lee continued. “…Our community deserves to know the truth, and the families impacted deserve justice and every resource available to support them.”
