Police ID first victim of Sacramento, Calif. mass shooting; suspects still at large
"Investigators are working to identify those responsible for this horrific act," Sacramento Police Chief Katherine Lester said Sunday afternoon. "We know that a large fight took place just prior to the shootings. And we have confirmed that there are multiple shooters."One of the victims, 38-year-old Sergio Harris, was "a very vivacious young man" who smiled all the time and never bothered anyone, his mother Pamela Harris told CNN affiliate KOVR.
. "We are currently working to determine what, if any, relation these events have to the shooting," the statement said. Police said part of the incident was captured on a nearby camera. "It's unfortunate that something like that can still happen nowadays in an environment where everybody is out having fun," he said. "The gun thing has to change. The accessibility to guns in general, but to automatic weapons is my own personal opinion."
"Thoughts and prayers are not enough," he said. "It is beyond time to have a sane conversation guns in America. We have a sickness -- it's a sickness in our country, it's a sickness in our culture."
