OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) – As 2020 comes to a close, the City of Oakland finds itself on track for a major increase in deadly shootings. 

On Monday, the union that represents Oakland police is calling on the police commission and City Council to come up with a plan to put a stop to it. 

It was a violent weekend in Oakland, including three deadly shootings within a 24-hour period. 

“We not only had three murders in a span of 12-hours but just this week we had a total of 6-murders and a further 11 shootings right across the city. So we are seeing a significant escalation in violent crime in Oakland,” Oakland Police Officers’ Association President Barry Donelan said.
