Law enforcement officials say the shooting is being investigated as an attempted assassination.

"I think it's the tragedy," said Anna, a Yuma resident.

"I was surprised. I was honestly I was surprised. I didn't think that it was going to get to that, you know?" said Justin Ortiz, another Yuma resident.

"Too far. You know, they're trying to kill him. You know? Too bad," said Eddie Garza, another Yuma resident.

Law enforcement officials says the shooting is being investigated as an attempted assassination.

Officials say the alleged shooter is dead and one attendee was also killed.

Congressman Raul Ruiz (D-CA) shared this statement with News 11 saying, "I unequivocally condemn violence of any kind. We must restore civility to our democratic process."
