Residents of Firebaugh are avoiding shopping and dining out, causing declines in local commerce. The city faces potential cuts to police, parks, and its senior center.

Weekly food bank distributions increased from about 50 families to 150, and volunteers deliver boxes to families too afraid to leave home.

No one was in custody by Sunday evening, and authorities requested that anyone with tips, cellphone video, or witness accounts come forward.
