The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating firearm related injuries that occurred on July 4th, 2022, after 9:00 PM, in the 7000 block of Coliseum Way. Following last night’s Oakland A’s postgame fireworks show, officers were notified of a possible shooting victim inside the ballpark. During the preliminary investigation, officers located three fans struck by bullet fragments from what appears to be celebratory gunfire occurring throughout the city of Oakland. A fourth victim later walked into a local hospital. All four victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries.

The final part of the report encouraged anyone who knows anything about the situation to contact the Oakland Police Department. They are offering a reward of up to $20,000 dollars for information that leads to an arrest.
