California Party Shooting Kills Teen, Injures 3; Shooter at Large

Oakley, California, was shaken by a tragic incident as police officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 400 block of Shannon Way, according to ContraCosta.

Upon arrival, officers discovered five spent 9mm shell casings in front of a residence and four victims suffering from gunshot wounds.

Sadly, a California teenager succumbed to their injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene, with the next of kin duly informed.

The three other victims, while sustaining gunshot injuries, were transported to John Muir Walnut Creek Hospital, with the injuries being non-life-threatening.

Given the gravity of the situation, additional resources, including Oakley police detectives, extra officers, and administrative support, were promptly summoned to the scene.

The suspect had fled the scene before the arrival of the officers and remained at large.

The incident unfolded as a highly chaotic scene, with Oakley police diligently working alongside numerous potential witnesses in their efforts to identify the suspect.

Presently, it appears that there was only one suspect involved in the incident.

Police Were at the Scene 30 Minutes Before Shooting

Earlier, police officers had responded to the same residence approximately 30 minutes before the shooting took place, the San Francisco Chronicle noted.

They were called to address a report of a loud party. An 18-year-old female informed the police that the party was concluding, and they were attempting to disperse the attendees.

Despite an offer of assistance from the police to shut down the party, she declined their help.

Subsequently, a witness recounted that 20 to 30 youths arrived at the house after the police left, but they were unable to access the residence due to a locked front door.

Nevertheless, this group managed to enter the backyard through a side gate.

Moments later, screams were heard emanating from inside the home, and several individuals were observed fleeing the residence through the front door.

Witnesses and evidence collected by the California police indicate that approximately six shots were fired.

California Party Shooting Caught on Home Surveillance Camera

A resident, known as Mr. Williams, shared home surveillance footage capturing the aftermath of the incident, per CBS News.

The video depicted a scene of chaos, with numerous people screaming and yelling. The distressing sound of multiple gunshots was also audible in the video.

According to Williams, who resides across the street, the video clearly captured the harrowing moments of the incident.

Law enforcement authorities are actively searching for the perpetrator and the weapon used in the incident.

Meanwhile, community members like Williams have played a crucial role in providing immediate assistance to the injured victims.

Williams recounted how he applied a tourniquet to a teenager who had been shot in the leg and arm, offering support and guidance to help the victim remain calm.

Tragically, the California teen shot in the upper body did not survive despite efforts to stop the bleeding.

Neighbors described the house party, which began around 9:30 PM, as hosting at least 100 teenagers.
