(KRON) — A 15-month-old baby girl was injured after a shooting in Oakland on Monday evening, according to the Oakland Fire Department. Officials have not released information on the baby’s condition except to say the child is stable.
The shooting took place near 11th Street and International Boulevard around 6:16 p.m., and the baby was brought to a fire house nearby. The baby has since been taken to UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals for treatment.
This is the seventh shooting reported in the City of Oakland since Saturday. A mother and her 13-year-old daughter were both killed in a shooting on Saturday night, and one person has since been arrested. Three of the shooting incidents are now being investigated as homicides.
Oakland City Council President Nikki Fortunato Bas called the shooting “horrible,” and said “the level of violence impacting our babies and families is not acceptable.”
“We understand the toddler is in stable condition and my heart is with her family and loved ones,” she added. “Nobody should ever have to experience this type of pain. I would like to thank our first responders at Oakland Fire Department for their immediate care.”
Anyone with information should contact the Oakland Police Department at (510) 238-3426.
