OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland police are investigating after fans were injured at Monday night’s game between the Athletics and Toronto Blue Jays by “celebratory gunfire.”

In a statement, the A’s said officers were notified of a possible shooting in RingCentral Coliseum following a post-game Fourth of July fireworks display.

The A’s said an initial investigation found three fans were struck by bullet fragments “from what appeared to be celebratory gunfire occurring throughout the city.”

A fourth person later walked into a local hospital on their own. All four have non-life-threatening injuries, the team said.

The A’s are offering a US$20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
