FAIRFIELD — Assemblymember Lori D. Wilson is asking her community to hold on to each other after a shooting inside a Fairfield Halloween store left a pregnant woman dead and six people wounded.
The shooting happened Friday, Oct. 30, at the Spirit Halloween store at Solano Town Center. Constance Hages, 31, who was pregnant, was killed. Three young men, ages 16, 19 and 32, were left in critical condition, a 23-year-old was critical but stable, and two other men were treated and released. Police called it a targeted attack and believe the gunman was aiming at another customer.
A school resource officer recognized the suspect from surveillance video, police said, and officers arrested a 17-year-old boy after a SWAT operation at a home in Suisun City. The Solano County District Attorney’s Office is charging him as an adult with two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, three counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon and firearm enhancements.
Assemblymember Wilson, who represents Fairfield and Suisun City, thanked first responders and said her heart breaks for the injured and for Hages’ family. “As a community, we must come together to support one another,” Assemblymember Wilson said.
The investigation is ongoing.
