Fairfield, California, police identified Constance Hages, 31, as the woman killed Friday night in a shooting at a Spirit Halloween store in the Solano Town Center, and family members told detectives she was pregnant, KCRA 3 and ABC News reported2,4.

Police said they were called about 8:30 p.m. and found seven people with gunshot wounds4,3. Six others were wounded, ranging in age from 16 to 43, KCRA 3 said; several remained hospitalized, including patients listed in critical condition2,4.

Fairfield police said preliminary information pointed to a targeted incident involving one suspect inside the store, and that no one had been detained2,4. Chief Dan Marshall asked anyone with information to contact the department and said mall cameras would be reviewed4. SFGATE said the FBI's Sacramento office is assisting5.

Witnesses described shoppers running after several rounds of gunfire and forcing open a gate to escape, KCRA 3 reported2. The mall canceled its trick-or-treating event and reopened Saturday; Spirit Halloween said the store would remain closed2,5.

On Sunday, the nonprofits Broken By Violence and Sane Sart held a community meeting to connect residents with trauma resources, ABC10 reported1. Executive director Ebony Antoine said the shooting came five months after an 18-year-old was killed at a high school graduation1.

CBS News also reported a separate Friday shooting at a Spirit Halloween store in Madison Heights, Michigan, that killed a 21-year-old man; that case is not part of the Fairfield investigation3. Who was targeted in Fairfield, and the suspect's identity, have not been released2,4.
