One person was killed and six others were injured in a shooting at a Halloween supply store in California, local time yesterday (October 30), according to AFP and other media reports.

Citing reports, the shooting took place at a Spirit Halloween store inside a shopping mall in Fairfield just one day before Halloween.

Local police stated that one person died from the shooting, while six others sustained gunshot wounds and were transported to hospitals, with at least three of them in critical condition.

Police are continuing their investigation without having identified a suspect yet.

The shooting occurred just hours before Halloween, which falls on October 31 local time.

On the same day, local broadcasters reported that an argument between two 21-year-old men at a Spirit Halloween store in Madison Heights, Michigan, led to a shooting, leaving one of them with gunshot wounds.

The man was taken to a hospital but later died.

Local police do not believe the shooting was a random rampage.

The man identified as the suspect has been arrested and taken into custody.
