The fourth shooting victim, a 21-year-old man, was transported to the hospital and remains in critical condition.

While the investigation is still in its early stages, preliminary findings indicate that the suspect acted alone and his motive is unknown. The suspected shooter’s identity is being withheld until the family members of all of the victims have been notified.

Earlier Thursday, the department asked people to avoid the area.

In its statement, the Toppenish Police Department encouraged anyone with information related to this incident to come forward and contact investigators with the Toppenish Police Department. “Any information, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, could greatly assist our ongoing investigation,” the department said.

The Associated Press notes Toppenish has a population of about 8,600 people and is located within the Yakama Indian Reservation.
