Police Chief Kathy Lester, speaking with reporters at the scene, said there were no suspects in custody, according to the news outlet.

Sacramento Police issued a notice on Twitter that said, “ADVISORY: 9th St to 13th St is closed between L St & J St as officers investigate a shooting with multiple victims. Conditions unknown at this time. Please avoid the area as a large police presence will remain and the scene remains active.”

Lester said it wasn’t immediately clear if the victims were deliberately targeted or how many gunmen were involved.

“Right now our investigators are arriving at the scene,” she said.

Although the investigation is in the preliminary stages, this is “a very complex and complicated scene,” Lester said, ABC 10 reported.

The chief issued a plea to the public, asking for witnesses or anyone with recordings of the incident to contact police.

According to video posted on Twitter, people ran through the streets as gunfire could be heard, the New York Post reported.

Community activist Berry Accuius described the grisly scene shortly after the shooting.

“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 said. “You know, commotion, trauma. It’s just a lot of things that, you know, you don’t want to see.”

The scene of the shooting is packed with restaurants and bars. It leads to the Golden One Center, where the Sacramento Kings play basketball.
