#parent | #kids | ‘Multiple’ dead in Goshen gang shooting, including infant

At least six people are dead following a violent altercation in Goshen early Monday morning.

The shooters remain on the loose.

The incident was reported around 3:30 a.m., and was initially believed to be a shooting in progress because of the amount of gunfire heard echoing through the typically quiet neighborhood.

When deputies arrived, they found two victims and a third near the doorway of the Goshen home. One victim was still alive when deputies arrived, and was rushed to the hospital after CPR was performed. However, he later died.

The victims include a 17-year-old mother and a six-month-old infant, both of whom were shot in the head. A description of the other four victims wasn’t provided by deputies.

“At this point, there are six total victims,” said Ashley Ritchie, spokeswoman for the department. “There are victims inside and outside the home.”

There were also several survivors of the “massacre,” that were escorted from the crime scene, Tulare County Sheriff Mike Boudreaux said.

“The whole situation is tragic,” he said.

Deputies say there are at least two shooters, and it wasn’t a “random act of violence.”
