A California Highway Patrol officer lifts police tape to let parents and students leave a cordoned off area on Fountain Street following a shooting at a school campus in Oakland, Calif., on Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022. OAKLAND, Calif. — — At least six adults were wounded in a shooting at a school campus in Oakland on Wednesday, with at least some of the victims found inside the school, authorities said.
John Sasaki, a spokesperson for Oakland Unified School District, said in a statement that district officials “do not have any information beyond what Oakland Police are reporting.” He said counselors were being made available for students and he could not say whether the schools at the site would be open Thursday.
City Council Member Treva Reid said investigators told her the shooting may be tied to rising “group and gang violence.”“We’ve seen almost a doubling of the violent crimes victims that we’re seeing here at our facility . So something has changed,” Jackson said.
