Multiple revelers were shot and police officers assaulted during an unauthorized gathering in Oakland, California involving thousands of people Wednesday night.
KTVU reported that the celebration, which had at least 5,000 people in attendance, was a mostly “peaceful” event until around 8:15 p.m. local time. This is when an illegal sideshow involving vehicles and motorbikes occurred.
Paul Chambers, the Oakland Police Department’s (OPD) strategic communications manager, said the shooting happened around 8:45 p.m. during a fight that broke out down the street from the sideshow and a crowd gathered in the area of the fight.
Raws Alerts captured partial footage of the incident on its page. In the video, people are seen screaming and fleeing in terror as shots ring out.
