Six people have died and at least nine others have been injured in a shooting in Sacramento city centre, US police have said
Video posted on Twitter showed people running through the street as the sound of rapid gunfire could be heard in the background.Witnesses reported seeing a person in a car pull out an automatic weapon and begin shooting into a crowd gathered outside a restaurant and lounge in the city.
Police provided few details about the circumstances surrounding the shooting but said in a tweet that a "large police presence will remain and the scene remains active". Residents were asked to avoid the area, which is packed with restaurants and bars leading to the Golden One Centre, where the Sacramento Kings play basketball."The first thing I saw was like victims. I saw a young girl with a whole bunch of blood in her body, a girl taking off glass from her, a young girl screaming saying, 'They killed my sister'. A mother running up, 'Where's my son, has my son been shot?'" he said.
Kay Harris, 32, said she was asleep when one of her family members called to say they thought her brother had been killed. She said she thought he was at London, a nightclub at 1009 10th Street. Ms Harris said she had been to the club a few times and described it as a place for "the younger crowd".
