California: Several dead after shots in residential building

In a residential building in Long Beach, California, at least three people died and nine were injured. This was announced by the authorities.

The city fire department near Los Angeles wrote in a tweet that she had been called to the house on Tuesday night. The injured were therefore taken to hospitals.

Media reported that paramedics had first treated some of the injured in the garden near a nail salon.
