Six people were killed and 12 injured in shooting on a Sacramento, California, street busy with revelers, and police said they were still searching for suspects with no one in custody.
"She said he was dead. I just collapsed," Harris said. She said she was still waiting on official confirmation from police, adding,"I cannot leave here now until I know what's going on. I'm not going anywhere. It seems like a dream.""The first thing I saw was a young lady draped in her blood and others' blood.
The violence occurred just blocks from the state capitol building in an area recently revitalized as an entertainment center. It shattered the welcoming atmosphere as pandemic masks started coming off in the past week and bars and restaurants began filling with people long isolated by COVID-19. "The numbers of dead and wounded are difficult to comprehend. We await more information about exactly what transpired in this tragic incident," Mayor Darrell Steinberg said on Twitter."Rising gun violence is the scourge of our city, state and nation, and I support all actions to reduce it.
The incident comes a little more than a month after a man shot and killed his three children and a fourth person before taking his own life in the same city. In a separate shooting overnight in Dallas, Texas, a man was killed and 11 other people were injured after a person opened fire into a crowd at a concert, Dallas police said. The incident is being investigated, the police added.
