Left: CBS local affiliate KOVR13/CW31 Ron Jones does his 10 p.m. evening news standup on the sidewalk just outside the building where I work. Across the street, down at the corner, TV FOX 40 does the same.Here's what KOVR13/CW31 has at their Web Site:
The Sacramento Police Department said two groups of gang members traded insults on J Street between 18th Street and 19th Street just after midnight Sunday, when one of the men pulled out a firearm and opened fire at the opposing group.
One of the opposing gang members suffered non-life threatening injuries, but three innocent bystanders were also struck by gunfire. Victor Hugo Perez Zavala, 24, died from his injuries, authorities said.
Officers were nearby when shots rang out, but the chaos that resulted after the large crowd quickly dispersed prevented police from spotting the shooter. Witnesses described the gunman as a black male, 18 to 21 years old, 5'11" to 6'0" tall and 180-200 pounds with shoulder length dreadlocks.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said he will work with police to form a plan to prevent another act of violence at the "essential" social event.
"We cannot afford to dismantle this event," Johnson said.
