Police on Thursday said they were still searching for at least two suspects in a shooting at an Oakland school campus Wednesday that they believe was gang-related.

Armstrong said authorities were looking for at least two shooters and another accomplice, but there may be more people involved, KGO-TV reported. Nobody was in custody as of Thursday. .

Armstrong said the shooters were targeting a specific person and began to fire outside the school before breaching the front entryway. He said investigators are still working to determine what precipitated the shooting and who the shooters were targeting.

John Sasaki, a spokesperson for Oakland Unified School District, said in a statement that district officials “do not have any information beyond what Oakland Police are reporting.” He said the Sojourner Truth Independent Study headquarters has no students.

Outside a nearby church converted into a makeshift student-parent reunification site, Oakland city councilmembers Loren Taylor and Treva Reid met with frustrated teachers, parents and community leaders fed up with the rash of shootings plaguing the city, including eight homicides over a recent eight-day span.

Reid, whose district is where the school shooting occurred, said she raced to the school as police were searching to see if the shooters were still on site.

Overall, Reid said the past couple of weeks of deadly violence has been emotionally draining for the city
