Oakland rocked by 4 shooting deaths in less than 24 hours, with latest outside City Hall
LA TimesOakland police investigate a fatal shooting at 14th Street and Broadway near City Hall on Tuesday. A spate of deadly gun violence in Oakland landed Tuesday afternoon outside the doors of City Hall, where a shooting marked the city’s fourth homicide in less than 24 hours. Just before 7:45 p.m. Monday, the city’s ShotSpotter system, which uses audio sensors to detect gunshots, alerted officers to multiple rounds fired in the 3100 block of Telegraph Avenue, police spokesperson Kim Armstead said at the news conference. In addition to the three fatal shootings, Oakland police were investigating “four separate shootings that occurred citywide within a 13-hour span,” she said. “We’re killing each other,” said Antoine Towers, president of the Oakland Violence Prevention Coalition.
