Robert GrahamOakland residents are invited to attend the first of several public safety meetings tonight. The meetings are hosted by Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao, who, along with other city leaders, will discuss crime and safety.
The meeting follows another violent night in Oakland, where several people were struck by gunfire. At least one person died.
The first deadly shooting occurred around 7 p.m. outside the Parker Elementary School campus, which now serves as an adult school. Police responded to the scene after the ShotSpotter system detected more than two dozen gunshots. A man was found dead outside the school. Authorities have yet to release any information regarding possible suspects. Police say at least two other people who may have been connected to the shooting, drove themselves to Highland Hospital.
