Targeted Shooting on Puffin Circle in Fairfield Leaves Three Injured, One Critically
FAIRFIELD, CA – April 7, 2025 — A targeted shooting shook a quiet Fairfield neighborhood Monday evening after gunfire erupted at a residence on Puffin Circle, leaving three men wounded—one of them in critical condition. Authorities were first alerted around 7:30 p.m. following reports of multiple shots fired just blocks away from Vanden High School.
Fairfield Police officers responded swiftly to the scene and discovered three male victims suffering from gunshot wounds at a home on Puffin Circle. All were transported by emergency responders to a local hospital for treatment. As of 10:15 p.m., one remains in critical condition, while the other two are reported to have sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Officers have confirmed the shooting was targeted, though details regarding a motive remain unclear. A silver Mercedes-Benz vehicle parked near the scene drew investigators’ attention due to visible damage from gunfire. The car was later towed from the location, but police have not yet disclosed what, if any, role the vehicle or its driver may have played in the incident.
As of late Monday night, no suspect descriptions or arrests have been made public. Fairfield Police say there is currently no active threat to the surrounding community, though a heavy police presence remains in the area. Puffin Circle remains cordoned off as crime scene investigators continue collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and reviewing any available security footage.
Authorities have not shared whether the victims were residents of the home or visitors, and they have not released their identities at this time. Nearby residents were rattled by the sound of gunfire in an otherwise quiet suburban neighborhood and expressed concern about violence so close to local schools.
“I’ve lived here 15 years and never seen anything like this,” said one resident, who asked to remain anonymous. “My kids go to Vanden. It’s too close for comfort.”
As of the latest update, Fairfield PD has yet to release additional statements, and the investigation remains active. They are urging anyone with information about the shooting to come forward.
This developing story continues to raise questions about motive, suspects, and the condition of those injured. The community awaits clarity and hopes for a swift recovery for the victims.
