The ABC News report says multiple people were killed and injured in a shooting near a state beach, and attributes that account to authorities. The report was published on November 2, 2026.

According to ABC News, the summary of its report identifies Moss Landing State Beach as closed in the wake of the shooting. The summary does not describe when the beach will reopen or whether the closure is expected to last.

ABC News did not specify in its headline or summary how many people were killed or injured, nor did it describe a suspect, a motive, or the sequence of events. The headline refers to multiple people without giving a count, so the number of victims is unclear in this account.

The material available for this story consists of a single ABC News item containing a headline and a one-sentence summary. No other outlet's report was available for comparison, so no conflict between sources can be described.

ABC News attributed the information in its report to authorities, as its headline indicates, and the report does not name any specific official agency. The item's author field is blank, so no reporter is named in the source material.

Because the report rests on a headline and summary alone, the cause of the shooting, the identity of any people involved, and the timing of events remain unreported here. The closure of Moss Landing State Beach is the only effect of the shooting that the summary describes.
