The Moss Landing shooting near Moss Landing State Beach left multiple people killed and injured just after midnight Monday, according to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office. California State Parks Police closed Jetty Road and Moss Landing State Beach after the shooting.
That left a public area sealed off while authorities said there was no active threat to the community right now. The shooting happened along Jetty Road, a road tied directly to the closure.

The closure was the immediate step taken after the shooting. California State Parks Police shut down Jetty Road and Moss Landing State Beach, limiting access to the area while the response continued.
The Monterey County Sheriff's Office said multiple people were killed and injured, but did not provide additional details about victims, suspects or motive. The event remains a developing story, and the confirmed facts stop at the shooting, the casualties and the closure.
