Mass Shooting Leaves Six Dead and 12 Injured in Sacramento, CA

HeadlineApr 04, 2022

In California, a mass shooting left six people dead and 12 injured just blocks from the state Capitol building in Sacramento. Police believe at least two shooters opened fire at around 2 a.m. on Sunday as a number of bars and nightclubs were closing. This is community activist Stevante Clark, the brother of Stephon Clark, who was killed by Sacramento police in 2018.

Stevante Clark: “But the thing is, we don’t have nothing, you know, and there’s a lot of guns on the street. There’s too many damn guns on the street. That’s a conversation that needs to be had, as well. There’s too many damn guns.”

Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg also spoke out on Sunday about gun violence.

Mayor Darrell Steinberg: “As a state and as a nation, this senseless epidemic of gun violence must be addressed. How many unending tragedies does it take before we begin to cure the sickness in this country?”
