"We found several dead individuals in the backyard, we received information from several victims," said Lt. Bill Dooley, a police spokesman, who said the condition of some of the injured is critical.
The surviving victims were rushed to the Community Regional Medical Center.
"What we know is that this was a meeting, a gathering of friends and family in the garden," Dooley explained. "Everyone was watching football tonight when unknown suspects approached the house, entered without being seen in the garden and opened fire."
There were about 35 people at the party when the shooting began, said Reid, quoted by the AP.
"Thank God no child was hurt," he added.
So far no person has been arrested related to the event. Police said in principle there were no indications that the victims knew the aggressor or aggressors.
The reason for the killing is under investigation, Reid said, indicating that for now there is no evidence that it is a gang confrontation.
This is at least the second deadly attack with guns on Sunday in southeast Fresno, the Bee said. A man in his twenties was shot in the morning in a house of other art in the city. The police have not indicated if the incidents could be related.
