Heavy rain hits California with millions under flood alerts
Several roads across the state were closed because of flooding and rockslides, California's transportation agency reported.
At least seven people were injured in a shooting incident in central California on Saturday, according to the authorities.
The California Highway Patrol said that its units were on a traffic stop near the area of 4400 Woodward Avenue in the city of Manteca when they heard several gunshots and then saw several people running, a media report said.
San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies responded to the shooting soon afterwards.

“There had apparently been a large party and someone had showed up and started shooting into the crowd,” the office said in a statement.
Two of the victims were in critical condition and five others treated and released. The investigation is still going on.
Earlier in the month, four people were injured in a shooting along a highway in Oakland, California.
Late June, at least two people were killed and four others injured after a gunman drove his vehicle into a Northern California Walmart distribution centre before opening fire on workers.
In February this year, one person was dead and five others injured in a southern California shooting on a bus headed from Los Angeles to the Bay Area.
Last year, in November, five members of a family, including three children, were dead in a shooting incident at a residence in Southern California.
