The first victims of the Sacramento massacre that took place yesterday have been identified.
A 38-year-old married father of three named Sergio Harris was included, alongside 29-year-old DeVazia Turner.
The horrifying incident rocked California yesterday when a gunman arrived in his vehicle and began shooting his automatic rifle during the early hours of the morning.
A total of six people were killed on Sunday in downtown Sacramento. These included three men and three women, while a total of 12 people were reportedly injured in the act.
The sound of at least 76 gunshots filled the air over a span of 54 seconds. When cops arrived, they found bodies lying on the ground, with a giant crowd of people standing in the vicinity.
The other victims were immediately rushed to a nearby local hospital.
Meanwhile, other harrowing reports spoke about how four of the victims’ bodies lay on the streets at 80 degrees Fahrenheit weather, 15 hours since the massacre had taken place.
At the moment, law enforcement authorities are on the search for at least two gunmen.
In the aftermath of the devastating shooting incident, President Joe Biden has demanded new gun laws, while offering a long list of things that Democrat-controlled houses of Congress could do to assist in putting an end to the violence.
The President could be heard speaking about banning ghost guns, conducting background checks for all gun purchases, and also putting an end to assault weapons for sale.
Cops revealed how the suspected shooter managed to get away before cops could arrive, as witnesses described the vehicle making a quick run for it, with sounds of tires screeching filling the air.
It is still unclear how many people were involved in the incident but cops claim that the suspected shooter opened fire from his car and then fled. But there was a second person who fired shots. However, it’s unclear if he was a part of the crowd or not.
