Six killed in Sacramento shooting

Shots rang out in the heart of California’s capital city early Sunday as bars and nightclubs were closing around 2 a.m. Police arrived to find a large crowd gathered in the street, with six people dead and 12 others injured. Authorities have identified one of the dead as 38-year-old Sergio Harris, a married father of two.

What led to the shooting? Police have not identified any suspects, but they said Sunday that at least two shooters had opened fire. Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester asked for people with information about the shooting to come forward and help solve the crime.
