   One person was killed and three others were wounded during a shooting at a religious retreat Tuesday at a remote campground in southern California.
   
   The shooting near the city of Temecula was reported about 7:23 p.m. (10:23 p.m. ET), said Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez, public information officer for the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
   
   Gutierrez did not offer many details about the shooting, saying officers had problems getting information because of a language barrier.
   
   The retreat was for a Korean group, Gutierrez said. Police thought the shooter was one of the people injured, he added. Those wounded were in critical condition.
   
   "Everybody was shot," Gutierrez said. "This apparently was a religious retreat. There are some ladies here who appear to be nuns who are very distraught about what just occurred here."
   
   Unraveling the crime would take time, according to a sheriff's spokeswoman.
   
   "The victims were in different locations, so it is a fairly big crime scene," Deputy Herlinda Valenzuela said.
