At least six people have been shot dead in a mass shooting that took place in Sacramento, California, on Sunday.

Multiple ambulances were scrambled to the scene in downtown earlier this morning.

Residents were asked to avoid the area – packed with restaurants and bars – that leads to the Golden One Center, where the Sacramento Kings play basketball.
Berry Accius, a community activist, narrated the incident as he saw it.
“The first thing I saw was like victims. I saw a young girl with a whole bunch of blood in her body, a girl taking off glass from her, a young girl screaming saying, “They killed my sister.”
“A mother running up, “Where’s my son, has my son been shot?”’ he continued.
“You know, commotion, trauma. It’s just a lot of things that, you know, you don’t want to see.”
