Oakland A’s MLB Fans Injured by ‘Celebratory Gunfire’ During Post-Game Fireworks Show

Police say “celebratory gunfire” was occurring throughout the city on July 4th, despite California’s strict gun control laws

Four Oakland A’s Major League Baseball fans inside the team’s RingCentral Coliseum were injured by what police are calling “celebratory gunfire” during a post-game fireworks show after the A’s Fourth of July win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Police responded to a call about a possible shooting victim at the RingCentral Coliseum’s Fourth of July fireworks show following the Oakland A’s victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. When they arrived on the scene, according to a press release and local media reporting, they found three more fans in the stadium wounded by bullet fragments. A fourth fan walked into a local hospital on his own, also struck by bullet fragments at the A’s stadium.

Reportedly, none of them sustained life-threatening injuries and police are offering up to a $20,000 reward for information leading them to solve the case.

Authorities are blaming the fan shootings on “celebratory gunfire” that was apparently occurring throughout the City of Oakland, California on Independence Day, and say that they believe the gunfire originated from outside the ballpark.
