Multiple victims were reported in a church shooting in Orange County, California, on Sunday, and a person was in custody in connection with the attack, authorities said.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department reported the shooting on its Twitter account at 2 p.m. It said the shooting was reported at a church in the city of Laguna Woods, a retirement community in the south portion of the county.
The Orange County Fire Authority didn't immediately respond to a request for information.
On Twitter the agency said it was "treating and transporting multiple patients."
There are multiple churches in the general area.
Laguna Woods and Laguna Woods Village are relatively exclusive communities for people 55 and older and their companions or loved ones. Large parts of it are gated.
The sheriff's department urged patience as its deputies worked at the scene.
