SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – New Year’s Eve celebrations were abruptly interrupted by a wild scene in Old Sacramento on Monday night after four people were shot, including at least one person who has died.

The shooting occurred in the the 1000 block of 2nd Street near Fanny Ann’s Saloon, which is at 1023 2nd Street, police said.

The extent of the injuries for those shot wasn’t immediately available.

Families with young children had gathered in Old Sac for a 9 p.m. fireworks show shortly before the shots rang out.

Watching the news live as we speak. Apparently 4 people shot, 1 killed, and it is unclear of whether the suspect is on the loose or not. This is about 10 minutes away from me, and it happened in the "Fanny Ann's Saloon" bar. I was actually in that bar just one month ago prior to this happening tonight.

For those confused by the location, Old Town Sacramento is the founding district of Sacramento, California that is just outside of Downtown Sacramento, (in the United States). It is kept in it's basic, original form as the buildings and location are nationally recognized as a historic location.

Over 40,000 people were expected to be in Old Town Sacramento tonight for the New Year's Eve fireworks show. It is amazing no one else has been shot yet. Currently an "army" of Sacramento Police Officers and Sacramento County Sheriff's Deputies are on-scene. Sacramento City Fire and the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District are also providing medical assistance alongside the American Medical Response medics.

Details are still emerging. I'll update this if I find out more.

Edit: Now it is 5 people shot, 1 killed.

Edit #2: Now it is 5 people shot, 2 killed.

Edit #3: The gun used was reported stolen as of 2010: http://blogs.sacbee.com/crime/archives/2013/01/gun-in-old-sac-shooting-reported-stolen-in-2010.html

wtf, Only one way to go for this : Ban guns and ask people to surrender the guns they own.


For those who gonna say banning guns isn't a solution , oh well, What are you gonna do with a 2.5MM when there will be a guy shooting at you with a AK-47 at minigun speed?

Automatic and semi-automatic rifles are banned in the state. They are not legally obtainable. California has the strictest gun laws in the country. You have to be at least 21 just to purchase a handgun in the state.

I'm actually saving up to buy myself a Sig Sauer P229 so I can get a CCW and protect myself. This is getting out of control. The world is spiraling downward, and is only going to get worse. I don't see a reason to not be self-carrying at this point if you're trained properly.

Sugar's fb message gave me an idea.

I take back my previous post, and say, All guns other than manual revolvers or pistols should be banned. I doubt anyone can use those two for mass killings.

However, I still stick with my idea of rubber bullets, world would be a peaceful place then if there are only rubber bullets.

Most weapons aside from handguns are banned here, with very few exceptions. Large-capacity magazines are also banned.

I do agree on the rubber bullets, though...

I can remember watching that robbery where 2 robbers used 2 damn'd AK-47's with High Capacity Magazines, Metal coated bullets and armour and tried to rob a bank....

Those were illegally obtained. That bank robbery incident is actually why officers carry shotguns and tactical rifles (assault rifles) in their cars, now, throughout the country.

I'm talking about entire USA not just Cali.

About rubber bullets, it should be implied in all the countries. Since the bullets make the same impact, without killing the person.

Whoopie, you have to be atleast 21... Correct me if I'm wrong, havent all the mass shootings in the USA this year been by people over the age of 21, and you can't own semi/automatic rifles? Oh right because hand guns and shotguns can't inflict the same amount of damage.. The USA's gun laws are a joke, and so are all the people who believe they need more guns or any guns at all.

If they continue to allow guns things like this will continue to happen. And they seem to be happening far too often at the moment.

Bellicist culture plus fanatical liberalism is a deadly combination...

(And no SugarD I don't want to start a political argument beyond the gun-related legislation and the State's role on all of this)

It's just the same thing with hurricanes.. you can't keep moaning about houses being smashed every time there is a hurricane if you keep building prefabricated houses..

Very true man, when will they learn to build brick house with slate rooves, that way the only thing that will break is the rooves.

Having to be 21 years old, isn't strict.
