live breaking nearby style, okay. sojourner truth independent study school we are continuing to follow that breaking news out of oakland where at least six adults were hurt after a shooting at a school building including two people who have life-threatening injuries happened just around one o'clock this afternoon at a building on fontaine street. it's a campus that houses multiple schools including bay area technology school. rudsdale newcomer high and sojourner truth independent study. but oakland police just said the shooting happened on the russdale continuation school portion of the campus. good evening everyone. thanks for joining us. i'm liz croy and i'm dan ashley. we have abc 7 news team coverage for you with our ryan curry and under hassan at bay area hospitals. we're six different patients were taken to be treated all of

whom again are 18 years of age and older but all are affiliated with the schools and our liam melendez is speaking to parents, but we do begin with abc 7 news reporter tim johns tim on the scene there now for hours. what's the latest? yeah, liz dan as you say we just got done with a double press conference one from the oakland police department the other from the oakland unified school district of those sits adults too as you say have a life-threatening injuries one has been released to our pending release and that remainder has non-life threatening injuries. now opd says they are looking for one shooter. although there are others who may be involved. they're also asking the community to come forward if any information any pictures, even if they've heard anything just to help them with this investigation as we say it is still an ongoing and active investigation. there is no one in custody at this time, but opd says they are confident that if the community helps them and comes forward they will be able to bring those

who are responsible to justice. we also hurt as i mentioned a little bit earlier from the oakland unified school district. they said that obviously this is a very stressful time not just for the district for the city as a whole just for a bit of context there have been about nine shootings nine homicides. in the city just in the past week or so. so oakland is a little bit on edge that certainly been reflected with some of the parents that we've spoken with over the past couple of hours. and as we say, this is something that also needs a community solution as well. i want you to listen to some of what they said to us. when something like this happens, it's very fluid situation and you know and first and foremost we have to secure the campus. we have to ensure that people who are there who are not directly involved in what happened are safe. of course, we have to get to people who are involved to to the hospital if that's what needs to happen. and so there is a process we have to go through before we can actually get everything out to our school community. so there may have been a bit of a delay and if there are people who are upset with that they can talk to me, you know, i'm the one in charge of getting those

that information out and we did have a bit of a delay, but it was because we were making sure that this the situation is secure the school was secure and and everybody was being taken care of. now liz and dan i have to reiterate again. this is still an ongoing and active investigation. so even though we are getting more information we are expecting even more stuff to come out in the hours ahead. i'm live in east oakland and john's abc 7 news. that is for sure tim. thanks very much. let's go now to abc 7 news reporter ryan curry live at highland hospital, right and that's worth three of the most seriously injured patients. we're taking ryan. what have you learned? that could even to you both we did get an update moments ago from hospital officials regarding the three people being treated here at the hospital. we do know that two of the three people being treated are in stable but critical condition the third is just in stable condition, which is an improvement from what we were told earlier in the afternoon during this update. they did mention about the

ongoing issue of violence here in oakland, and unfortunately today is just another day with that amount of violence, especially when they consider it being right near a school. i want to give you sound now moments ago from the ceo of alameda health system talking about how unfortunately they've seen a rise in amount of violent episodes here at highland hospital. they have they've had to treat over couple years. in 2021 and 2022 we've seen. almost a doubling of the violent crimes victims that we're seeing here at our facility. so something has changed. i'm a son of oakland i grew up in oakland. this is not the oakland that i grew up in. i'm calling on community leaders. and i'm prepared to lean in myself. we've got to do differently we've got to do something better.

this has obviously been an afternoon full of very high emotions for the city of oakland yet again another episode of ongoing violence gun violence in the city of oakland, and this is a level one trauma center. they say they treat so many instances of gun violence in and around oakland and the whole east bay community and with this one being right near a school. they say this one felt even more intense in the sense because there were children nearby and there were instances where others could have been hurt and that's what they did hint at. this press conference the important news though coming from it is that there is an improvement and one of the people who would be treated here they're in stable condition to however do remain with life threatening injuries and are in critical condition, but they are in stable. they said they're going to be providing us information throughout the evening. so anything we do learn here at highland hospital. we will provide that to you. we're live in oakland ryan curry abc 7 news. all right, ryan. thank you. very sad about those two victims mayor libby schaaf tweeted out this statement.

said today's gun violence at sojourner truth school shocks, the soul. our schools are sanctuaries for our children our investigators report. all six victims are adults and being treated for injuries. hospitals now the school is now clear and all children are being reunited with families the unbridled access to firearms in our country is inexcusable. well as you can imagine when news broke parents rushed to the schools to find their children abc 7 news reporter lee ann melendez is live at the east oakland campus. she's been talking with parents since this happened leah. well as libby schaff said before the mayor of oakland, this is where parents were reunited with their children about dan about. half a mile or so from the school. it's the parking lot of saint cuthbert. i'm just reading the sign episcopal church here in oakland, very emotional when we

got here this this whole parking lot was full of students staff teachers just stunned mad really a very frustrated, but it was really very emotional for me as a reporter to see, you know, the parents embracing their kids. just hugging them as you know that they they arrived here and imagine all these kids were escorted here by their teachers by staff by police officers and met here with their parents. we spoke to one member of the community nina carter who said again, she's very frustrated with over all things that have led. at this moment what what are the kids telling you obviously? they scared and they not safe and education is not important. they life is not value. so they telling us all kind of stuff but nobody is listening to the kids.

so right now the teachers have left this area they were waiting for all the kids to leave and they have left, but they were also waiting to have the opportunity to go back to campus again about half a mile from here to retrieve their belongings. they have left everything understandably so their cars and and belongings at the school. so they have since done that and right now the parking is pretty much empty and and that's a good thing. we're glad that everybody's home and safe, but with regard to the issue safety, you know. i think a lot of people have said this before, you know, this is like a brace in moment where this didn't happen at night. as i understand as the police

have said someone or more than one person entered a campus. so again the issue of safety, you know, we don't know at the moment. i haven't confirmed whether or not that school or those three schools on the campus will reopen tomorrow. not sure i know that the school board is meeting this evening and definitely, you know, that's something that will be brought up tonight. i'm live in oakland leeann melendez abc 7 news. yeah, and not only did this happen in broad daylight near school. this didn't used to happen as frequently as it does now just as recently as a few years ago as you well know leanne, i'm curious you are on the scene very quickly. what was your sense of the response in terms of it being orderly or efficient in terms of getting parents reunited with their kids what you saw about police how school officials handle it any impressions on how this was hand. you know all these schools now all around the bay area in the country train for these kinds of things.

that's right. it what i saw when i got here was students still arriving here from the school being escorted by a teachers in an orderly fashion, and they all stayed within groups and one of the things that really touched me was the teachers would approach me and said, you know, we really want to protect our students right now. we want to give them space and of course, of course, we said please you know, you're you're students or your priority right now when you have a moment, please come talk to us, and of course a few members of the community did and two council members were more than willing to talk about. you know, what they're feeling at the moment. say a powerful impression and of course, these teachers hadn't really been able to to interact with their students in a normal way for the last couple of years because of the pandemic. so being in present with them physically was i'm sure very very powerful and meaningful for them leanne. thank you very much stand by we
