A pregnant woman was shot and killed in a “targeted incident” inside Solano Town Center on Friday night, according to police.
Police identified the victim as 31-year-old Constance Hages. Authorities said Hages’ family told detectives she was pregnant at the time of her death, but police said the information will be confirmed following an examination by the Solano County Coroner.
Fairfield police said it is believed the shooting stemmed from a “targeted incident” involving one suspect inside the Spirit Halloween Store.
On Friday, officers responded to a shooting inside the Solano Town Center at the Spirit Halloween store at 8:30 p.m., according to authorities. Seven people were shot and one of them died. Authorities reported that the victims who remain in critical condition are a 16-year-old boy, a 19-year-old man and a 32-year-old man.
Officials said a 23-year-old man remains hospitalized “in critical but stable condition,” while a 19-year-old man and a 43-year-old man received treatment for gunshot wounds and have since been released from the hospital.
“Fairfield’s greatest strength is how we all look out for each other. I urge everyone in our community to support one another in this obviously very troubled time, especially now,” Fairfield Mayor Rick Vaccaro said on Saturday. “Obviously, it’s going to be on everybody’s mind when an incident like this occurs, and I know it will always be on my mind for a long time.”
