The Oakland School Shooting With The Injured Teenager Was Not Intentional

Comment OAKLAND, Calif. — An east Oakland school shooting that injured a 13-year-old boy and left another student in custody was not intentional, police said Tuesday. “The evidence indicates that the incident was not an intentional school shooting. At this time, it does not appear that the victim was the intended target,” a tweet from the police department said. No other details were given. Reports of a shooting sent officers to Madison Park Academy in the Sobrante Park neighborhood at about 1:30 p.m. of Monday. They found a 13-year-old boy with a gunshot wound, and a 12-year-old boy ran away after the shooting but was quickly taken into custody, authorities said. The injured student is hospitalized in stable condition. The other student was booked into Juvenile Hall on suspicion of assault with a firearm and other weapons. The shootings occurred in an open square at the school, which both boys attended, authorities said. The gun was found. The school, which has about 750 students in grades six through 12, was evacuated but reopened Tuesday with counselors available to students and staff. Yarelin Espinoza, 17, said she was taking a physical education class when some students burst into tears and shouted, “You have a shooter, there is a shooter.” “All of a sudden, we went into panic mode, because we didn’t know what was going on,” he told the Bay Area News Group. Many students were not in class Tuesday, the senior said. “It’s really painful and disappointing – I thought we were making a difference in our community,” he said. “It’s the only place we thought it was safe to be there. Turns out it’s not.” He also said shootings are common in East Oakland, where many of the year’s homicides have occurred. “We hear gunshots almost every day,” Espinoza said. “It’s happened so much in the community, it’s normalized. It should never have gotten to this point.” Meanwhile, the police chief and other community members gathered at City Hall Tuesday to condemn the ongoing violence in Oakland that has included six homicides since last Thursday. Most were shot. “Give us a break. Give this community a break,” said Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong. He was joined by peace advocates and mothers of people killed, urging all people to do more to reduce violence.
