Police Arrest Suspect After Shooting at Office Campus Housing Xbox Studio inXile
Police have arrested a suspect after a drive-by shooting at an office campus in Tustin, California, that houses inXile Entertainment, a studio owned by Xbox. A drive-by shooting is one carried out from a moving vehicle.
Officers responded to reports of the shooting on 11 November. Eurogamer reported that officers found multiple shell casings at the scene, the empty cases left behind after bullets are fired. No one was hurt.
The shooting happened at Flight at Tustin Legacy, a campus that holds inXile and other businesses. The suspect was taken into custody shortly before 11 AM on Friday, 13 November, after police had finished processing the scene. Police have not named the suspect.
Tustin Police Sergeant Christopher Peterson said the investigation is still ongoing, including where and why the shooting took place. Police have not disclosed a motive.
An inXile spokesperson said no one was hurt at the studio's office. The company said it is supporting its team and working with law enforcement.
inXile is best known as the developer of the Wasteland series, a set of role-playing games set in a post-apocalyptic future. The studio is currently working on Clockwork Revolution, a game that has not yet been given a release date.
For the team at inXile, the immediate concern is the people who work in the building. Studios often share office campuses with other companies, and a shooting at one business can affect everyone on site. The investigation will set out the facts, and the studio has said it will continue to support its staff while that work goes on.
