FREMONT, Calif.

Police are investigating the fatal shooting of a man at a wedding reception in Fremont.

Two men were shot at the Niles Banquet Hall Saturday night. They were taken to a nearby hospital, where one of them died.

Fremont police say the shooting happened after a group of uninvited guests were turned away from the event. They returned with a handgun and shot the victims.

Alameda County anti-gang law enforcement specialists are assisting with the investigation.
