Four people were killed, including three children, after a gunman opened fire at a church in Sacramento, California.
The shooting took place at The Church in Sacramento in the Arden-Arcade neighborhood, where the suspect opened fire in the main sanctuary area on Monday just after 5 p.m., Sacramento County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Rod Grassmann told reporters during a news conference.
The church's pastor called 911 around 5:07 p.m. after he heard the gunshots, ABC Sacramento affiliate KXTV reported. Three of the victims are under the age of 15 and are the children of the suspected gunman, identified as David Fidel Mora-Rojas, Grassmann said.
All of the victims were dead when first responders arrived. The identity of the fourth victim is not known at this time. Mora-Rojas died by suicide, Grassmann said.
