There was a backyard FOOTBALL GAME WATCH PARTY in Fresno a couple of nights ago. As they were enjoying the game several somebodies came by and opened fire on the party, shooting a total of ten people. Four of those ten have died.
Perhaps the shooting was perpetrated by rabid cricket fans, but somehow I think it is more likely there was some level of gang involvement.

4 Dead, 6 Injured In Shooting At California Home

Police searched Monday for two assailants who sneaked into a backyard party in Fresno and opened fire while a small crowd watched football on television. Four people were killed and six wounded.
Fresno Police Chief Andrew Hall said the house where a group of Hmong family and friends had gathered was deliberately targeted on Sunday evening, but the shooters fired at random once they saw men in the backyard watching football. “They fired randomly into the crowd. It does not appear that they were targeting any individuals, and once they fired, they fled,” he said.
Hall said there was no immediate word on a motive, and so far there was no indication that any of the victims knew their attackers, though most could not see them, describing seeing only a flashing light when the semi-automatic pistols were fired.
Officers went door-to-door looking for surveillance video that might help them track down suspects.

Really? In Fresno? Surely you jest.
Additional info leads the cops to believe this was a personal beef and NOT gang related. However the gang task force is investigating. Victims were all Hmong men. There is a significant Hmong community in Fresno. One of the dead was a big time Hmong singer. He is believed to have been collateral damage.
