5 People Shot At Toddler's Birthday Party In Vallejo: Police

VALLEJO, CA — Five people suffered gunshot wounds, two fatally, when multiple shooters pulled up in a car and targeted a group of people attending a toddler's birthday party Tuesday night in Vallejo, police said.

Police received reports of a shooting at 9:49 p.m. in the 100 block of Cynthia Avenue in North Vallejo.

Three ambulances were requested at the shooting on Amelia Street, Medic Ambulance said just before 10 p.m.

"We can confirm that there have been multiple gun shot victims in North Vallejo," Vallejo Police Department Spokeswoman Brittany Jackson told Patch at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Partygoers included men, women and small children, Jackson said in a follow-up statement.

The shooting happened at the corner of Cynthia Avenue and Amelia Street in a residential area, with the North Vallejo Community Center to the west and Crest Ranch Park to the east.

When officers got to the scene, they found five people suffering gunshot wounds: a 10-year-old child and four adults. The child was reportedly rushed to UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland.

"Tragically, two adult victims, 63 and 37, succumbed to their injuries and were pronounced deceased at a local hospital," Jackson said.

The names of the two people fatally shot were being withheld Wednesday morning by the Solano County Coroner’s Office until their next of kin were properly notified.

"Our deepest condolences and prayers are with the victims' families," Jackson said.

Three shooting victims — a man, a woman and the 10-year-old child — are expected to survive.

Three of the people shot at the party live in Vallejo, while the 10-year-old child and the fourth adult victim were residents of the neighboring city of Benicia.
