OPD says 5 injured by gunfire at Coliseum fireworks show
Police on Tuesday gave an update of the gunfire and violence from over the 4th of July holiday weekend. They are investigating three homicides and shootings including that of a three-year-old and five people who were injured at the post-A's game fireworks show at the Coliseum. Police say the gunfire is not believed to have originated from the stadium.
OAKLAND, Calif. - A sixth person has come forward with injuries related to "celebratory" gunfire after the Oakland A's game and the Coliseum's Fourth of July fireworks, according to Oakland police.
Three fans at the Coliseum were injured by the gunfire, said police Tuesday morning. A fourth victim also walked to a hospital for treatment, and a fifth victim came forward before Tuesday afternoon. OPD's Twitter shared Thursday at 12:51 p.m. that a sixth victim had contacted OPD about their injuries.
Police said the shooting took place around 9:30 p.m. in the 7000 block of Coliseum Way, during the Fourth of July fireworks display.
Investigators determined that a high-power rifle was used, said Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong during a Tuesday afternoon press conference.
"Our staff has estimated it could have been a mile away, where those bullets could have been fired from," Armstrong added.
Authorities said all injuries were non-life-threatening. This investigation is ongoing.
