At least five shooters fired guns during a mass shooting in Sacramento, California that left six people dead and 12 others wounded, police said Wednesday. As authorities continue to investigate the fatal shooting, the deadliest in Sacramento's history, the number of identified shooters in the incident could grow.
On Sunday, a fight between at least two groups of men broke out in downtown Sacramento at about 2 a.m. local time. Sacramento police officers arrived to find a large crowd, including three men and three women who were pronounced dead.
The Sacramento Police Department said Wednesday that it's "increasingly clear that gang violence is at the center of this tragedy." Officials were unable to provide details on the specific gang affiliation of those involved, but said "gangs and gang violence are inseparable from the events that drove these shootings."
