Six students and staff were wounded in a shooting at the King Estates campus in the Oakland hills, leaving two with life-threatening injuries.

All the wounded were ages 18 or older and were associated with the campus. As of press time, police were still seeking those responsible for the shooting.

The King Estates campus, located on the 8200 block of Fontaine Street, includes four schools: Rudsdale Continuation and Newcomer high schools, BayTech Charter School, and Sojourner Truth Independent Study.

The shooting, which took place shortly before 1 p.m., occurred outside a building on the campus. Oakland Police Department Assistant Chief Darren Allison said officers are looking for at least one shooter, although more suspects could be involved. No descriptions have been released.

The Oakland Police Department contacted Rev. Phyllis Scott, President of the Pastors of Oakland and leader of the Oakland Chaplaincy Program, to respond to help provide counseling and family support as parents arrived to pick up their children. Pastor Scott said she would be calling for City leaders, community-based groups, youth and the formerly incarcerated messengers “to come together in a spirit of unity to provide answers and to respond to the needs of those participating in violence.”

City council members Treva Reid and Loren Taylor both attended to provide statements of support to the families of the children.
