Downey California business shooting [VIDEO]. A gunman targeted a family-owned fire extinguisher business Wednesday, gunning down three people at the office and shooting two more at a family home nearby, police said.
At least three people are dead and two others have been wounded in shootings in Downey, according to Downey Fire Department Capt. Robert Hohn.
The facts surrounding the shooting are not yet clear, but authorities have been working two active crime scenes on Cleta Avenue. One is a private residence and the other is a business. It is not yet clear if the two incidents are related.
“We do not believe this was a random act of violence,” Milligan said. “We do believe there is a specific reason this family was targeted and we want to know why.”
The shooting occurred about 11:30 a.m. in the 8700 block of Cleta Avenue.
The suspect does not appear to be a former employee, friend or family member.
Police have not been able to interview the woman survivor at length because of her injuries.
