A fifth person was hospitalized in critical but stable condition with gunshot wounds, they said. The Sacramento Bee newspaper said the two shamans - traditional spiritual healers or guides - were in their 50s.

The shooting occurred late on Saturday in a southern Sacramento neighborhood, said Michele Gigante, a spokeswoman for Sacramento Police Department.

Authorities said they believe that the gunman was let into the home before he opened fire with a handgun, killing three of the occupants of the home and wounding a fourth person.

"We are pretty confident that this was not a random act," said Gigante. "We're looking into this being a gang-related crime."

Gigante said she could not confirm the report that two of the dead were shamans.


Officers who responded to reports of gunfire at the home Saturday night found three men and one woman dead, police spokeswoman Officer Michelle Gigante said. One of the dead, determined to be a suspect, was shot by someone inside the house who had confronted him, Gigante said.

Investigators weren't sure if there were additional suspects.

Late Sunday afternoon, more than a dozen people gathered just outside of the crime scene tape that cordoned off the home and the entire block of the residential neighborhood of one-story homes.

Television news trucks were parked nearby, while reporters looked on and children rode their bicycles and played in nearby yards.

Authorities still hadn't released the names of the victims, but neighbor Mai Thao, who previously lived on the same block, said she knew the victims.

"They're really nice people," she said. "They're always quiet and looked really happy."

Two of the victims were described as shamans - spiritual elders - in the Hmong community.

The surviving victim remained in critical but stable condition Sunday, Gigante said, but she declined to provide additional details.
