The early Sunday morning shooting happened as bars and nightclubs were closing in downtown Sacramento and police are asking for the public’s help in their search for one or more suspects.
Six people were killed and 12 injured in a mass shooting early Sunday as bars and nightclubs were closing in downtown Sacramento and police in California’s state capital were searching for at least one suspect.
Shortly after the shooting, video was posted on Twitter that showed people running through the street amid the sound of rapid gunfire. Sunday’s violence was the third time in the U.S. this year that at least six people were killed in a mass shooting, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. And it was the second mass shooting in Sacramento in the last five weeks.
“How many unending tragedies does it take before we begin to cure the sickness in this country?” asked Steinberg. “Let us be honest. This is a sickness. The fact that we accept the idea that people can have ready access to assault weapons, to weapons of destruction and can indiscriminately use them wherever and however they want…that is not an exception. It happens far too often.”
Sacramento police has set up a information center at city hall for families affected by the shooting. Rep. Marc Berman, who represents parts of the Peninsula and Silicon Valley, called the shooting “tragic” and “senseless” in a tweet.The area where Sunday’s shooting occurred is packed with restaurants and bars. Nightclubs close at 2 a.m. and it’s normal for streets to be full of people at that hour.
