Multiple people were killed and others injured in a shooting near a California beach early Monday, authorities said.
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office reported that deputies and detectives responded to a shooting along Jetty Road in Moss Landing shortly after midnight. The office confirmed "multiple fatalities and casualties."
Crews found two individuals with gunshot wounds to the chest and another person with minor injuries, according to North County Fire Protection Chief Jess Cortez. The two victims with fatal injuries were pronounced dead at the scene, while the injured person was transported to a hospital.
Authorities have not yet released the total number of fatalities or injuries or details regarding the circumstances that led to the shooting. California State Parks Police closed Jetty Road and Moss Landing State Beach at the sheriff's office's request while the investigation is ongoing.
"There is no active threat to the Moss Landing Community at this time," the sheriff's office stated. "This is an active investigation, and no further information will be released at this time."
