OAKLAND, Calif. - An investigation is underway in Oakland after a shooting inside an upscale restaurant injured two people.

Officers responded to multiple calls Friday night at the southern cuisine restaurant Pierre Pierre on 13th Street near the Tribune Tower.

A video posted Saturday on Instagram by chef and owner Cleashaun Hill shows blood on the floor and tables turned over.

In an interview, Hill told KTVU that he was there were two people shot at about 9 p.m.

"I got everybody on the floor," Hill said. "I was looking for my security guard, got him and just kind of got the situation under control. We were trying to call 911 and get the police here as fast as they could to try to kind of help us out."

The Oakland Police Department has not responded for comment.

But the police union released a statement over the weekend saying they were doing "everything in its power to protect the public."

"But Oakland is outmanned, outgunned and overwhelmed by criminal activity," the statement read. "We need a commitment from the new mayor and council to provide more police officers now to stem the tide of violence and crime and help turn Oakland around."

It could be weeks before the restaurant reopens.

Hill created a GoFundMe to help with enhancing security and possibly to relocate the restaurant to a safer area.
