Oakland man dies after shooting at sideshow

One man is dead after being shot and possibly struck by a vehicle at a huge Oakland sideshow. Two other men were wounded in separate shootings at the same gathering, police said.

OAKLAND, Calif. - A man in Oakland died after being shot and possibly struck by a vehicle at a huge sideshow early Saturday, Oakland police said. 

Two other people were shot in unrelated shootings at the same sideshow, according to police. 

The initial call to police said that a person had been injured after being hit by a vehicle at 2:45 a.m. Saturday near 42nd Avenue and I-880, officials said.

A sideshow involving an estimated 500-600 vehicles and reports of gunfire in the area delayed police from reaching the victim, they said. 

They found an Oakland resident with "massive trauma" to his body, police said. After taking him to a hospital, it was discovered that the man had been shot.
