The 11-year-old boy is just one of six people hit by what authorities called 'celebratory gunfire' during the annual Fourth of July special event. Now his father is calling for changes so no others become victims of gun violence at the Coliseum.
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The father of an 11-year-old boy is coming forward after his son was hit by a full bullet while watching fireworks at the Oakland Coliseum on the Fourth of July. The boy is just one of six people hit by what authorities call"celebratory gunfire." Now his father is calling for changes so no others become victims of gun violence at the Coliseum.
"We went here because it's inside, there's security, officers. We thought it was a safe place to go for the Fourth of July," said Albert Cotterell IV."I lifted up his shirt and I could see the hole in his shoulder. The wound was a crater the size of a penny. Meat and fat from his shoulder were on his shirt," said Cotterell, who showed photos of his son on a gurney, surrounded by first responders the night it happened.
On July 5, Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong, the A's, and Mayor Libby Schaaf told the public those individuals were hit by bullet fragments., that OPD acknowledged attendees being hit by actual bullets, not fragments. The woman had a full round removed from being shot in the hand. An X-ray showed her swollen limb and the length of the bullet, which, according to firearms experts, appears to be from an AK-47 or similar style weapon.
