4 People Killed in Fresno Shooting at Bears vs. Rams Backyard Watch Party

Four people were killed and six more were injured in a shooting at an NFL watch party in Fresno, Calif. Sunday evening, according to TMZ Sports.

About three dozen friends and family were in attendance at the backyard event watching the Sunday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears until multiple shooters entered the premises and began shooting.

"Everyone was watching football this evening when unknown suspects approached the residence, snuck into the backyard and opened fire," Fresno Police Lt. Bill Dooley said.

Police have called it a "targeted act of violence" and believe it could be retaliation for an incident earlier in the week.
