Student Wounded, Two Juveniles Detained After Shooting at Oakland’s Skyline High School

Classes will resume with added security as police probe motive.

Overview

  • Oakland police say a male juvenile was shot around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday and taken to a hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
  • Two juveniles were taken into custody in connection with the incident, with one arrested on campus and another off campus, and officers recovered two firearms.
  • The gunfire occurred just after classes were dismissed, prompting a lockdown that was later lifted as students were released in controlled groups.
  • Investigators have not confirmed whether the victim or those detained are students, and they say they do not believe the victim was armed.
  • Oakland Unified School District will hold classes Thursday with increased security and counseling, and Mayor Barbara Lee called gun violence a crisis.
