Three people, including a 2-year-old boy, were shot during a celebration Saturday night in the backyard of a Fresno home.<\/p>\n

Officers responded around 10:15 p.m. after receiving a ShotSpotter activation in the 3100 block of East Washington Avenue, near First Street, Fresno Police Lt. Justin Hoagland said.<\/p>\n

The police helicopter spotted a black vehicle leaving the area at a high rate of speed and heading toward downtown. The 2-year-old child, who had been shot in the leg, was inside the vehicle. Hoagland said the child is in stable condition.<\/p>\n

Officers found two additional shooting victims at the home. One victim was found in the backyard with serious injuries, while the other was in stable condition.<\/p>\n

According to Hoagland, a celebration was taking place in the backyard when the alleged shooter got into an argument with someone and opened fire, striking the three victims.<\/p>\n

The person police believe is responsible for the shooting has been detained, Hoagland said.<\/p>\n

Officers are canvassing the area for surveillance video as they continue their investigation.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is asked to call the Fresno Police Department at 559-621-7000<\/a>.<\/p>\n
