What sources say
What they're saying:
KTVU learned from sources that the violence began after Martin, who was a convicted felon, and another unnamed man got into a dispute at the bar. Sources said the other man opened fire first, prompting Martin to draw his own gun and fire back.
Sources said Martin was shot and, as he fell, fired multiple rounds that struck Bobo and wounded others.
Oakland Police Officers Association President Sgt. Huy Nguyen said the shooting reflects ongoing violence in the city’s downtown.
"Again, we continue to go down this path, seeing the violence that takes place downtown," Nguyen said.
Oakland City Councilmember Carroll Fife said the shooting happened during a private event at the club.
"It just goes to show that far too many people have easy access to these deadly weapons," Fife said.
