A 13-year-old student was shot at a school in East Oakland by a fellow classmate Monday afternoon who was arrested, police said.
Around 1:30 p.m., officers were called to the 400 block of Capistrano Drive on reports of a shooting. The address is the location of Madison Park Academy.
"I didn't now how to react so i just tried to stay as calm as possible," said student Roman Guerrero. The students then followed what they learned during their active shooter drills. They blocked the doors and stayed quiet. "You have heard from me over the last several weeks about a number of shootings and incidents that have happened at our schools and our playgrounds," Chief Armstrong said."This is impacting every area in our city. Nobody one is immune from this level from gun violence."
Teachers were equally as concerned about the school shooting. The Oakland Education Association released a statement on Monday calling for"continued, comprehensive solutions" to address gun violence.
