Skyline High Students Walk Out After Shooting, With Town Hall Planned

Recurring violence alongside communication gaps is fueling a push for answers.

Overview

  • Hundreds of students left class Tuesday and marched about a mile off campus to a Safeway after administrators urged participants to remain in the library.
  • Police say last Wednesday two students confronted a third in a campus bathroom and shot him, the victim survived, and both teen suspects were armed and now face charges.
  • This was Skyline’s third shooting in roughly three years, following injuries at the 2024 graduation and 2023 charges tied to a school-area gunfire incident.
  • In the 2023 case, police reported the arrested youths possessed ghost guns, untraceable firearms assembled from parts or kits.
  • OUSD condemned the latest incident, while students and parents criticized limited real-time information; the school plans a Thursday town hall with district leaders and Oakland Police.
