   SACRAMENTO, Calif (AP) — At least two shooters opened fire early   
   Sunday in Sacramento in the city's second mass shooting in five   
   weeks, killing six people and wounding 12 others as bars closed   
   for the night and crowds emptied onto downtown streets, police   
   said.   
      
   Three men and three women were killed, Police Chief Kathy Lester   
   said. Their bodies remained on the pavement hours after the   
   gunfire erupted around 2 a.m. Police sought clues from a crime   
   scene that stretched across multiple city blocks as they   
   searched for the shooters.   
      
   At least four of the wounded were hospitalized with life-   
   threatening injuries. Authorities have not identified any of the   
   victims or offered a possible motive.   
      
   Investigators pored through hundreds of pieces of evidence —   
   much of it documented on the streets with blue and yellow   
   markers — as officials begged the public to come forward with   
   tips and videos that could help find the suspects.   
      
   Councilmember Katie Valenzuela, who represents the area, said   
   she’s fielded many phone calls reporting violence in her   
   district during her 15 months in office. She cried at a news   
   conference as she told reporters that the latest phone call woke   
   her up at 2:30 a.m.   
      
   “I’m heartbroken and I’m outraged,” she said. “Our community   
   deserves better than this.”   
      
   Sunday’s violence was the third time this year in the U.S. that   
   at least six people have been killed in a mass shooting,   
   according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA   
   Today and Northeastern University.   
      
   President Joe Biden called for action on gun crimes in a   
   statement Sunday.   
      
   “Today, America once again mourns for another community   
   devastated by gun violence,” Biden said. “But we must do more   
   than mourn; we must act.”   
      
   Sacramento has endured two mass shootings in the last five weeks   
   . On Feb. 28, a father killed his three daughters, a chaperone   
   and himself in a Sacramento church during a weekly supervised   
   visitation. David Mora, 39, was armed with a homemade   
   semiautomatic rifle-style weapon, even though he was under a   
   restraining order that prohibited him from possessing a firearm.   
      
   The area where Sunday's killings occurred is on the outskirts of   
   the city's main entertainment district and has many bars and   
   restaurants. It's anchored by the Golden One Center that   
   attracts big-name concerts and is home to the NBA’s Sacramento   
   Kings. City officials have invested heavily in the area to   
   promote development.   
      
   Videos on social media showed what appeared to be an altercation   
   before the gunfire in California's capital city. Sgt. Zach   
   Eaton, a police spokesperson, said investigators don’t know if   
   that fight led to the shooting.   
      
   Kelsey Schar was staying on the fourth floor of Citizen Hotel   
   when she said she heard gunshots and saw flashes in the dark.   
   She walked to the window and “saw a guy running and just   
   shooting,” Schar told the AP.   
      
   Her friend, Madalyn Woodard, said she saw a crowd in the street   
   scatter amid the gunfire and a girl who appeared to have been   
   shot in the arm lying on the ground. Security guards from a   
   nearby nightclub rushed to help the girl with what looked like   
   napkins to try to stanch the bleeding.   
      
   A video posted on Twitter showed people running through the   
   street amid the sounds of rapid gunfire. Nightclubs close at 2   
   a.m. and it’s typical for streets to be full of people at that   
   hour in the city of about 525,000, located 75 miles (120   
   kilometers) from San Francisco.   
      
   Pop duo Aly & AJ performed Saturday at Sacramento’s Crest   
   Theatre and their tour bus was caught in the gunfire, the   
   musicians said on Twitter. No one in their touring group was   
   hurt, the tweet said.   
      
   California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement that his   
   administration was working closely with law enforcement   
   officials.   
      
   “What we do know at this point is that another mass casualty   
   shooting has occurred, leaving families with lost loved ones,   
   multiple individuals injured and a community in grief,” he said.   
      
   Kay Harris, 32, told the AP she was asleep when one of her   
   family members called to say they thought her brother Sergio   
   Harris had been killed. She said she thought he had been at the   
   London nightclub, which is near the shooting.   
      
   Pamela Harris, Sergio Harris' mother, told The Sacramento Bee   
   the family had not heard from him since the shooting.   
      
   “We just want to know what happened to him,” she said. “Not   
   knowing anything is just hard to face.”   
      
   Berry Accius, a community activist, said he came to the scene   
   shortly after the shooting happened.   
      
   “The first thing I saw was like victims. I saw a young girl with
