Fremont, CA (KGO) – Fremont police are investigating a fatal driving shooting Friday night when an unknown suspect opened fire in a parking lot that killed two people.

It happened near the Royal Palace Ballroom.
Police said a vehicle drove multiple shots at the victim.
A person died at the scene. The second person died in the hospital. Initially, there was a report that the third victim was. But on Saturday, Fremont police clarified that there were only two victims.
An employee of the Palace confirmed to ABC7 News that it closed on Saturday because there was no planned feature, nor because of the shooting.

“Every Friday or Saturday, we're here, and it's usually very safe. We have about 100 to 200 people,” said club president Jack Chin.
Chin admits he is not sure how many people will show up because it is the same as the fatal shooting on Friday night.
“I think maybe some people are a little scared to come out. They are worried that something else might happen,” Chin said.
Meanwhile, police activities were conducted in the 1400 block of Shafter Avenue at night in San Francisco. The San Francisco Police Department directed ABC7 News to contact Fremont Police to ask if it was related to Friday's shooting.
