Stockton, California — A Child’s Birthday Party Turns Into Chaos
What began as a joyful Saturday celebration — balloons taped to fences, children laughing, a birthday cake waiting on the table — turned into one of the most disturbing scenes Stockton officials have described in years.

According to early reports, at least 4 people were killed and 10 others were rushed to the hospital after gunfire erupted during a young child’s birthday party. Witnesses say the attack happened so quickly that parents barely had time to pull children to the ground.

Some neighbors initially thought it was fireworks — until screams filled the street.

⏳ What Happened Inside the House?
Several families had gathered for what was supposed to be a simple birthday celebration. Kids were opening gifts. Music was playing. Nothing seemed unusual.

Then, according to early witness statements, gunfire tore through the party within seconds.
