Gunfire erupted Easter Sunday in a fatal midday shooting in a Riverside gated community, according to police. One man was killed, and a woman was wounded.
City police detained a man at the scene in connection with the double shooting, a department spokesman said. Officers were summoned just after noon Sunday to the 7600 block of Canberra Way, after a shooting was reported in one of the homes, said Riverside Police Officer Ryan Railsback. When they arrived, they found a man who had been mortally wounded and a woman who also had been shot but survived. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she remained in critical condition as of about 5:30 p.
Police, he said, also recovered a handgun at the house. With the investigation just beginning, details about the incident are slim, Railsback said. He said detectives were working to piece together the events that led up to the shooting and said the motive was not yet known. Investigators were trying to establish the nature of the relationship between the person being questioned and the two people shot, he said. For now, police only know that the three knew one another.
