Washington D.C: At least four people were killed when an unknown man entered a backyard party and opened fire at the crowd in Fresno, California, on Sunday night (local time), the police said.

Fresno Police Lt. Bill Dooley told reporters during a press briefing covered by CNN affiliate KSEE that the victims were attending a family and friends gathering in the backyard of a home when an unknown suspect approached and opened fire.

The shooting was first reported to the police around 8 p.m. on Sunday (local time). Reid said that four men, aged between 25-30 years, had conducted the shooting.
