Several families are left heartbroken after losing their loved ones in a mass shooting in Sacramento on Sunday. Some of the families spoke with reporters after receiving devastating news about their loved ones who died when gunfire erupted in downtown Sacramento around 2 a.m.

One of the heartbroken families waited at the police line for hours and received somber news about their loved one, Sergio. Speaking with ABC 10, the family said Sergio was a married man and a father.

Another grieving father, Frank Turner, said his 29-year-old son DeVazia Turner is among the six people who died in the shooting.

According to CBS Sacramento, Turner’s mother, Penny, said she received a phone call on Sunday morning and learned that her son had been shot.

At least ten people were also injured in the shooting. Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester said a large crowd was gathered in the area at the time of the shooting.

“We had a large crowd in the area. We don’t know if it was part of a club or an event,” Lester said, according to ABC News .

“I’m just shocked that somebody would come here to a place where it should be safe and do something as heinous as this with multiple victims, not only just shot but dead in our city,” Berry Accius, a member of Sacramento’s Voice of the Youth, told ABC 10. “Right here in downtown, in a safe space.”

Lester said investigators still don’t know whether one or more suspects were involved. Police are asking the public to provide any video evidence they may have.
