UPDATE: Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf says all six victims in school shooting are adults, adding campus is clear and all children being reunited with families. Watch live updates here:
The Oakland Unified School District provided the following statement Wednesday afternoon: "There was an incident today at the King Estate campus on Fontaine Street, which houses the co-located Rudsdale Continuation and Newcomer high schools, BayTech Charter School, and the headquarters of Sojourner Truth Independent Study, which has no students at the site.
The campus is near Oakland Academy of Knowledge , but it is important to note the incident was NOT at OAK, nor did it have anything to do with that elementary school. We currently do not have any information beyond what Oakland Police are reporting." Aerial coverage from NBC Bay Area's SkyRanger showed students being evacuated from the campus and a heavy police presence, with some officers canvassing the complex. Parents are asked to meet their children at the church on Mountain and Fontaine for reunification, police said. The California Highway Patrol has shut down both eastbound and westbound Keller Avenue off-ramps in Oakland due to the police investigation at the nearby school.to get the most urgent news stories in your inbox.
