fans at the Coliseum struck by bullet fragments from what appeared to be celebratory gunfire occurring throughout the city.Athletics' game at the Coliseum with 24,000 fans. Once the A's won, the fireworks began. So did the gunfire.
But police believe the bullets were fired from outside of the coliseum and then rained down on fans inside. One victim was an 11-year-old shot in the shoulder. The other bullets hit fans in the arms and hands. Everyone was treated and released.The bullets were fired as hundreds of illegal fireworks were set off throughout the city. Oakland city council member Noel Gallo says this has to change.
"You know we've got to change our behavior here in the City of Oakland. Not only did I hear the loud M80s and the fireworks but I also heard the gunshots going off. I can just hear the Oakland As, this is why we don't want the Coliseum but the reality is it all comes down to enforcement," Oakland city council member Noel Gallo said.
Gallo was dismayed that so many residents spent hundreds of dollars on fireworks and then set them off illegally and that so many fired weapons off endangering the public even more. A car in the coliseum parking lot was also pierced by a bullet, but no one was injured.
