GILROY, Calif.: A 19-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder in connection with a fatal shooting at a city councilmembers Northern California home, where one person died and three other people were injured, authorities said Sunday.
Benjamin David Calderon was taken into custody Saturday afternoon by a SWAT team after the late-night shooting in the city of Gilroy, officials said in a Facebook post.

Armendariz told The San Francisco Chronicle in a statement on Saturday that she was unable to share details because of the active police investigation. She said in the statement that she and her family are cooperating with police.
I am thankful that my family and I … were not hurt in this tragedy, and I pray for those whose loved ones have been touched by what has occurred, she said.
The victims’ names were not immediately made public, nor has a motive been disclosed.
