YORBA LINDA, CA — A shooting took place at Featherly Regional Park in Yorba Linda on Sunday afternoon, sending shockwaves through the local community. According to a statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the incident unfolded after a violent altercation between two individuals earlier in the day.
Authorities reported that a man returned to the park shortly after the altercation and attempted to run over another person with his car. The driver then exited the vehicle, drew a firearm, and fired several rounds at two victims before turning the weapon on himself.
The shooting occurred in front of multiple witnesses, causing panic among parkgoers. Law enforcement officials have indicated that all parties involved in the incident, including the suspect and victims, were known to each other, and they have labeled the event as an “isolated incident.”
Emergency responders rushed to the scene, transporting the gunshot victims to a nearby hospital. Though the exact conditions of the victims remain unknown, it was confirmed that one individual, who had been struck by the car earlier in the day, suffered only minor injuries and was treated on-site by firefighter paramedics before being cleared without the need for hospitalization.
The sheriff’s department has yet to release further details about the identities of those involved or provide additional information regarding the suspect’s condition. However, they reassured the public that there is no ongoing threat to the community.
As the investigation continues, authorities are asking anyone with information about the incident to come forward. Featherly Regional Park, known for its picturesque landscape and popular Canyon RV campsite, has since returned to normal operation, though the event has left many questioning how such an incident could unfold in a typically serene environment.
