Police: 8 Hurt in Oakland Shooting, 2 Critically - ABC News


A hail of gunfire along an Oakland street left eight people wounded, including a 1-year-old boy and a woman who authorities say were hospitalized in critical condition.

The gunfire broke out Monday evening in a liquor store parking lot after a crowd had gathered, police said. The victims were transported to local hospitals by others at the scene before officers arrived to find dozens of bullet casings.

The 1-year-old's father also was shot, but relatives told KTVU-TV he was able to drive his son to the hospital, where surgeons were trying to relieve swelling on the toddler's brain.

"We are aware of a 1-year-old boy who was shot — possibly in the head — in critical condition right now," Oakland Police Lt. Robert Chan told the station. Children's Hospital Oakland declined to release any details about the child.

The shootings just after 6 p.m. happened near Interstate 880 in the city's West Oakland neighborhood, police officer Johnna Watson said.

I heard LA is the murder capital of the world, right after Santa Carla.

((Wonders why there was a crowd gathering at the liquor store)). I'm guessing there was a fight happening/brewing, and this is the tragic outcome.

Sad, especially for the little boy, who was clearly innocent in all this. My prayers for his recovery.

Same.

The title of this thread should be changed by a mod though as the story itself is newsworthy... the idiotic commentary of the OP doesn't have to make people cynical about what is a terrible & tragic situation.
