#3 The last time I stayed in downtown Sacramento, the Westfield mall by the capital was dead with closed up shops and predominantly vibrant and diverse roving groups of feral youts

#6 From Skidmark’s Fox News link:

Berry Accius of Sacramento's Voice of the Youth

According to LinkedIn , he is the founder/CEO of Voice of the Youth, a group that mentors and provides life skills training for at-risk youth who, based on the pictures on the website, are entirely African-American.

Interesting video at that link, too.

#10 1 Block from our old office building for Homeland Security, and only two blocks from the state capitol. Sacramento Bee had it vaguely linked to a Rapper Event a few blocks further downtown. 2am, and not description of the victims beyond one relative named Letitia, and photos of the wounded that were being removed. There is a video of an apparent major fight in the area involving 10-15 young men and it appears to be an Hispanic-African-American fray. My guess is the report of automatic weapons fire might have been a follow-on to that event.

#11 Bars closed @2AM put crowds in the street.
Drive-by shooting with a rifle reported.
Firing cadence heard in the video suggests semi-auto, not automatic.

#12 Carry onlike that and you’ll break your cover as a low level IT guy, Skidmark. ;-)

an Hispanic-African-American fray.

Gangs?

#13 Gangs for certain TW. If you look at the Video you see graffiti in several spots proximate to the interviews. This was a higher end restaurant and shopping area, pedestrian only, no POVs on K street, streetcars only. The Westfield Mall in # 3 above was a huge multilevel shopping mall, center of downtown and linked down to Old Sacramento and the river. But that was the snapshot in 2010.
Tragic urban decline, 2 blocks from the state capitol.

#14 Boom! And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how we do it at Rantburg, and why I don’t actually have to know anything at all.

#15 Finally, an update from the Times of Israel liveblog:

Sacramento’s police chief says there were multiple shooters in the mass shooting that killed six people and injured 12.
Police Chief Kathy Lester also tells reporters Sunday that three of the victims who died were women and three were men. She said all were adults.

The shots were fired early Sunday morning as people filed out of bars and nightclubs. A video posted to Twitter showed people running through the street amid the sounds of rapid gunfire.
