Authorities in California urged witnesses of a deadly shooting at a child’s birthday party to come forward as the search for a suspect stretched into another day.

Three children ages 8, 9, and 1,4 and a 21-year-old were killed Saturday when gunfire broke out at a banquet hall in Stockton where at least 100 people were gathered, San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow said. Detectives believe the gunfire continued outside, and there may have been multiple shooters.

Don Herrian was among the crowds of travelers at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport on Sunday, hoping to make it back home after Thanksgiving as hundreds of flights were delayed and canceled following a winter storm in the Great Lakes region.

On Saturday, 8.4 inches of snow fell at O’Hare, setting a record for the highest single calendar day snowfall in November at the airport, according to the National Weather Service.
