1 dead, 6 others hurt in shooting at Spirit Halloween in Fairfield, police say

FAIRFIELD, Calif. —

One person was killed and six others injured after a shooting at the Spirit Halloween store at the Solano Town Center in Fairfield on Friday night, police said.

The Fairfield Police Department said they responded to the shooting at 8:30 p.m.

At least three of the victims were in critical condition. The victims’ ages were not released.

No one has been detained, police said. They did not have information about a possible shooter or shooters and were trying to determine how many shots were fired.

As of Saturday morning, police said they believe this stemmed from a targeted incident involving one suspect inside Spirit Halloween. Detectives are still reviewing video footage and other evidence to identify the person responsible, the department said.

A witness told KCRA 3’s Denzen Cortez that his wife, who was inside the Spirit Halloween store, heard gunshots and people were running.

“I think she told that there was like five, six, seven shots when people were running,” the witness said.

Solano Town Center announced it has canceled its planned Mall-O-Ween trick-or-treating event in light of the shooting. However, the mall will be open Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The FBI Sacramento said it was deploying its Evidence Response Team to help Fairfield police with the investigation.

Among the other law enforcement agencies that responded were Suisun City police and the California Highway Patrol.
