3 people, including gunman, hospitalized after shooting at Yorba Linda park |
At approximately 2:40 p.m., Orange County Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of a shooting at Canyon RV Park, located within Featherly Regional Park near Gypsum Canyon Road and the 91 Freeway.
Upon arrival, they discovered three adult males with gunshot wounds, including the suspect, who had sustained a self-inflicted injury. A fourth individual suffered minor injuries after being struck by a vehicle and was treated at the scene.
Sequence of Events
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect had an earlier dispute with one of the victims. He left the park, returned later, and attempted to run over the individual with his vehicle. Failing that, he exited the car and opened fire, shooting two people before turning the gun on himself.
Victims and Injuries
The three men with gunshot wounds were transported to a local hospital. Their conditions remain undisclosed. The fourth victim, struck by the suspect's vehicle, sustained minor injuries and did not require hospitalization.
Event Context
At the time of the incident, Canyon RV Park was hosting the "Air Cooled Mardi Gras Picnic Weekend," a four-day event for Volkswagen enthusiasts. Witnesses reported that the victims and the suspect were familiar faces within the community, suggesting the shooting was not random.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities believe the incident was an isolated event stemming from a personal dispute and not related to the Volkswagen event.
There is no ongoing threat to the public. The Orange County Sheriff's Department is urging anyone with information to contact them at (714) 647-7000 or submit anonymous tips to OC Crime Stoppers at 855-TIP-OCCS (855-847-6227) or occrimestoppers.org.
