Shock Video: Gunfire, Stabbing as Hundreds of Rowdy Teens Swarm California Mall
One person was stabbed and a firearm was discharged during mayhem involving hundreds of juveniles at a shopping center in California over the weekend, according to reports.
The incident unfolded after 5 p.m. on Sunday evening in Emeryville, a city in the Bay Area between Oakland and Berkeley.
Approximately 300 to 400 young people gathered at the Bay Street Mall in response to a “link up” promoted on social media, authorities say.
Chaos broke out, as large groups began fighting outside an AMC theater and terrified shoppers fled the scene.
“There were just these throngs of kids — I want to say 300, 400 kids,” one woman who was present with her young son told ABC7.
“Things were fine. It was just a little strange, and then all of a sudden, they started running towards us. We thought there was like gunfire or a knife or something happened.”
Footage has been circulating on social media.
“At about 5:50 p.m., a report of a single gunshot fired was received, near Bay St and Ohlone Way. Officers responded and did not locate any victims or suspects or that incident,” the Emeryville Police Department (EPD) explained in a press release.
“At about 7:00 p.m., a caller reported a person was stabbed near Elm Dr. Officers responded to that location and found a juvenile victim who had been stabbed. Emergency medical responders were called to the scene to render aid. The juvenile victim was treated and transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.”
The mobs eventually dispersed by around 8:30 p.m.
EPD says they will “work diligently to hold those responsible accountable for their actions,” but it is unclear if any suspects have been identified or apprehended at the time of this writing.
