The Sacramento Police Department says that “multiple victims” were left dead as a result of a shooting in the city Sunday morning.
Police Chief Kathy Lester said during a news conference that six people had been killed and 10 injured as a result of a shooting that had occurred at 2:00 a.m., according to the Associated Press. Officials are unclear as to how many suspects were involved in the shooting.
In response to the shooting, the SPD revealed that several streets were closed as officers continued to investigate the situation, according to a Twitter statement from the department.
“We are asking for the public’s help in helping us to identify the suspects in this and provide any information that you can to help us solve this,” Lester said during the news conference.
