“Praying for Sacramento, this senseless violence has to end!”: Harrison Barnes sends out condolences to the victims of mass shooting and their families
There was another shocker to the world on Sunday as Sacramento suffered a mass shooting that killed 6 people, Harrison Barnes pays his respect to sufferers.
There was a mass shooting in downtown Sacramento early Sunday. Six people were killed, and 12 others were injured, making a section of the city normally brimming with nightlife into a horrific crime scene.
The shootings took place around the 1000 block of K Street, near a strip of nightclubs near Golden 1 Center and the state Capitol. The death toll and the number of people left with injuries make it the worst mass shooting in Sacramento’s history.
Police Chief Kathy Lester said the shooting, which followed a fight, left three men and three women dead. Officers have recovered a stolen handgun at the scene, she said, and “we have confirmed there were multiple shooters.”
“We know that a large fight took place just before the shootings,” said Lester, who was sworn in as chief two weeks ago. She called the level of violence “unprecedented in my 27 years with the Sacramento Police Department.”
