A vigil took place Wednesday night in Oakland as the community remembered the victims of the recent mass shootings in California.
The two Bay Area vigils took place Wednesday night at Wilma Chan Park in Oakland and Santa Clara University.
This comes after three horrific acts of gun violence in Monterey Park, Half Moon Bay and Oakland.
“I was born in Monterey Park. I was born in the hospital like three blocks away from the shooting,” said Oakland resident Timmy Lu.
Lu said he wanted to be with his community.
“Events like this have a way to make me afraid and I don’t want to be afraid,” he said.
