One Shot Dead And Three Injured During Vigil In Oakland

A teenage California girl has been murdered and three others were injured last night in downtown Oakland, while attending a vigil for teens who were killed according to USA Today:

The 16-year-old, who was listed in critical condition, later died at the hospital. The other three victims in the shooting are in stable condition, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

The victims range in age from mid-teens to early 20s, the Associated Press reported. They were attending a vigil two blocks away for someone who drowned in Salinas, Calif. It’s unclear if the shooting is connected to the memorial gathering.

One witness told the Chronicle he was walking down 14th Street about a block away when he heard multiple gunshots fired in rapid succession at 5:41 p.m.

“And then basically there were people running every which way,” said Mason Stone, 39.
