In the past five years, there were more than 550 homicides in Oakland, most in shootings. Last month, a grandmother and a 15-year-old girl were among those killed. And according to data compiled by the Urban Strategies Council, 143 Oakland residents age 17 and under were shot in 2011 — six of them fatally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behind those numbers are stories of lost lives and families left to fill their voids. Among them was 17-year-old Christopher Jones, who was killed two years ago outside his East Oakland home in a fusillade of stray bullets. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Crime\u003c/strong>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/24/oakland-residents-plead-pay-attention-to-killings/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Residents Plead: Pay Attention to Killings\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland’s Gun Problem: 11 Firearm Crimes a Day\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Christopher played music for several church choirs and was the music director of one of them. He also played drums and piano and was teaching himself guitar.

In the spray of bullets, Grisham’s oldest daughter was shot in the foot, but both girls made it into the house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And me and Christopher, he didn’t say anything, he just said, ‘Mom,’ and I told him to run, and as we were trying to get up the stairs, I was pushing him, but he had already got shot,” Grisham said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham fell forward onto Christopher’s back. She didn’t know he’d been shot until her oldest daughter said something. “She said, ‘Oh my god, somebody’s been shot,’ and I looked down and there was just blood all over the porch and he wasn’t moving.

Bratton’s hire, part of a $250,000 contract retaining him and his consulting firm, was finalized by the Oakland City Council 7-1 after a nine-hour meeting plus four hours of public comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bratton is a policing superstar who is widely credited with achieving sharp crime reductions in New York and LA, the country’s two most populous cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some civil rights groups have criticized his reliance on “stop-and-frisk,” in which officers detain individuals they deem to be suspicious and search them for guns, and which has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/search?q=stop+and+frisk+racial+profiling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">linked to racial profiling\u003c/a> by critics. Some opponents of the consultancy also worry Bratton will push for anti-gang injunctions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bratton’s supporters, including Oakland Mayor Jean Quan, have said they would not support a move toward “stop-and-frisk.” \u003c!--more-->KQED’s Stephanie Martin interviewed Bratton on Wednesday. Bratton was in Detroit, where he is also currently consulting. Edited transcript…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Stephanie Martin\u003c/strong>: Last night’s council meeting was emotionally charged and a lot of the anger had to do with the mistrust that many Oakland residents feel when it comes to law enforcement. How does the police department begin to change that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>William Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, one of the issues we had to deal with in Los Angeles when I was appointed chief in 2002 was a pretty deteriorating relationship between the department and the city’s African-American community. Actually it was described as open warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–William Bratton on stop-and-frisk\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I left seven years later, all of the policies, procedures and changes that had been put in place resulted in not only crime declines every year, but polling indicated more than two-thirds of the city’s African American community and its growing Latino population thought the department was doing a good to very good job. I understand those numbers have actually increased since I left several years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the situation in Oakland, which is well-known, is about the distrust of a large part of the population and the feeling of many members of the police department that they are not respected or trusted. That was successfully addressed in Los Angeles and I see no reason why the leadership in Oakland, the mayor, the city manager, the council and the police chief would not be able to address it by reducing crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The stop-and-frisk policies that you’ve promoted in the past are of course controversial. And some Oakland residents are saying this tactic invites racial profiling. What do you say to them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: The issue of stop-and-frisk is certainly of great concern in Oakland and I’m not familiar enough with the city at this stage to really comment on your specific issue. I’m certainly aware of it in New York, where it has been a very contentious the last year or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stop-and-frisk is an area where the police have to be very, very careful to ensure that they’re in compliance with the constitutional guidelines that authorize it, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0392_0001_ZS.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terry v. Ohio. \u003c/a>And in dealing with the use of stop-and-frisk it is very important to address it in much the same way as the racial profiling issues of the 90s had to be addressed by police. Stop-and- frisk is the racial profiling issue, if you will, of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to ensure you are always using that tool constitutionally, meaning you have to comply with the very stringent guidelines. That can be done through training and supervision. You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings. And you want to ensure that it’s done consistently, that you don’t apply it separately in a poor neighborhood and a rich neighborhood, you don’t interact with blacks differently than you do with whites or Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues in Oakland — I’ve not been there, I will soon be there. But stop-and-frisk is I think an issue that can be addressed in a way in which both sides are mollified. The police need it as a tool. The community just wants to ensure that the tool is not used in an inappropriate way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–Bratton on the consent decree OPD must comply with \u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Violent crime is getting the most attention in Oakland right now but many other types of offenses have spiked too. For example, auto burglaries have nearly doubled last year. Is there a quick way for the city to get a handle on that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: We’re being asked to do two things: look at the crime problem and develop crime strategies with the Oakland police department based on the priorities they feel need to be addressed. So if the issue of car burglaries is one of those then we’ll certainly be willing to add expertise to that of the Oakland PD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second area that we’re being asked to concentrate on is the enhancement of the CompStat process. This is a system I created in New York in the 90s, the management data accountability system, in which you use crime stats to identify very quickly where you need to put your cops. You use it as an accountability tool to ensure that your leaders and your managers know what’s going on in their respective areas and are dealing with them effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if not — why not? It’s a system that has been used extraordinarily effectively in New York and Los Angeles. New York is now into its twentieth year of crime decline, with about an 80 percent decline. And LA is into its tenth year, with a 55-60 percent decline. We’re hopeful that the system can be applied in a very similar, successful way in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Right now Oakland’s police force has about 25 percent fewer officers than it did a couple of years ago. How big a factor do you think that reduction might be playing in the crime problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, there’s no denying that a loss of 25 percent of your force is going to have an impact. Whether it’s in visibility, response to calls, or in the ability to have specialized units that can focus on specialized crime problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reality is you have what you have and to try and use them to the best effect possible. That’s where prioritization and focus come into play. The importance of the CompStat system is it really gives you a sense of where you’re getting the biggest bang for the buck with the personnel you do have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, some of my colleagues did a study there in 2006, some of which has just recently been implemented by Chief Jordan: the geographic distribution system with five police precincts. Part of our challenge will be coming in to very quickly get a sense of what the current circumstances are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Oakland police are making far fewer stops and arrests than they did a few years ago. Some officers say that that’s because of all the paperwork and recordkeeping required and because every stop they make is under careful scrutiny by a federal court. Is that concern legitimate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well it’s exactly the same concern that was voiced in 2002, when I went to the LAPD. And we got the federal consent decree implemented and we got crime down by about 60 percent. We got the cops out of their cars and motivated once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So hopefully working with Chief Jordan gives me the opportunity to provide some thoughts about experiences elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is what it is. You have a federal consent decree that was brought about because of the sense that the department was not performing appropriately. It’s not going to go away until certain elements are complied with. And you can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life. Once you face that reality … in L.A., we made it one of the top three priorities to get it done, get it over with and move on. I’ll have a little better understanding once I get to Oakland, but I have to believe it is one of the top priorities of the city administration to get the thing complied with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: A year or so ago you described the OPD situation as a ‘perfect storm of bad.’ What did you mean by that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: It’s that you had crises everywhere you looked. You had a crime crisis, a budget crisis, a political crisis, a crisis around the consent decree. I happen to actually see crises as an opportunity, so I have never gone into an environment that was not in crisis. And if there was not one, then I’d create one, because I think crises accelerates the need for change and change itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So your perfect storm is very similar to the perfect storm that we find here in Detroit right now. It was certainly the perfect storm I found in New York in 1990 with the transit police and in 1994 in the city of New York. And there was no place that had more issues than Los Angeles in 2002.

Actually it was described as open warfare.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–William Bratton on stop-and-frisk\u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I left seven years later, all of the policies, procedures and changes that had been put in place resulted in not only crime declines every year, but polling indicated more than two-thirds of the city’s African American community and its growing Latino population thought the department was doing a good to very good job. I understand those numbers have actually increased since I left several years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the situation in Oakland, which is well-known, is about the distrust of a large part of the population and the feeling of many members of the police department that they are not respected or trusted. That was successfully addressed in Los Angeles and I see no reason why the leadership in Oakland, the mayor, the city manager, the council and the police chief would not be able to address it by reducing crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The stop-and-frisk policies that you’ve promoted in the past are of course controversial. And some Oakland residents are saying this tactic invites racial profiling. What do you say to them?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: The issue of stop-and-frisk is certainly of great concern in Oakland and I’m not familiar enough with the city at this stage to really comment on your specific issue. I’m certainly aware of it in New York, where it has been a very contentious the last year or so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stop-and-frisk is an area where the police have to be very, very careful to ensure that they’re in compliance with the constitutional guidelines that authorize it, in \u003ca href=\"http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/historics/USSC_CR_0392_0001_ZS.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terry v. Ohio. \u003c/a>And in dealing with the use of stop-and-frisk it is very important to address it in much the same way as the racial profiling issues of the 90s had to be addressed by police. Stop-and- frisk is the racial profiling issue, if you will, of the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have to ensure you are always using that tool constitutionally, meaning you have to comply with the very stringent guidelines. That can be done through training and supervision. You have to ensure that it’s being done compassionately and always remember you are dealing with human beings. And you want to ensure that it’s done consistently, that you don’t apply it separately in a poor neighborhood and a rich neighborhood, you don’t interact with blacks differently than you do with whites or Latinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues in Oakland — I’ve not been there, I will soon be there. But stop-and-frisk is I think an issue that can be addressed in a way in which both sides are mollified. The police need it as a tool. The community just wants to ensure that the tool is not used in an inappropriate way.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>You can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life\u003c/strong>.”\n\u003cp>–Bratton on the consent decree OPD must comply with \u003c/p>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Violent crime is getting the most attention in Oakland right now but many other types of offenses have spiked too. For example, auto burglaries have nearly doubled last year. Is there a quick way for the city to get a handle on that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: We’re being asked to do two things: look at the crime problem and develop crime strategies with the Oakland police department based on the priorities they feel need to be addressed. So if the issue of car burglaries is one of those then we’ll certainly be willing to add expertise to that of the Oakland PD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second area that we’re being asked to concentrate on is the enhancement of the CompStat process. This is a system I created in New York in the 90s, the management data accountability system, in which you use crime stats to identify very quickly where you need to put your cops. You use it as an accountability tool to ensure that your leaders and your managers know what’s going on in their respective areas and are dealing with them effectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if not — why not? It’s a system that has been used extraordinarily effectively in New York and Los Angeles. New York is now into its twentieth year of crime decline, with about an 80 percent decline. And LA is into its tenth year, with a 55-60 percent decline. We’re hopeful that the system can be applied in a very similar, successful way in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Right now Oakland’s police force has about 25 percent fewer officers than it did a couple of years ago. How big a factor do you think that reduction might be playing in the crime problem?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well, there’s no denying that a loss of 25 percent of your force is going to have an impact. Whether it’s in visibility, response to calls, or in the ability to have specialized units that can focus on specialized crime problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the reality is you have what you have and to try and use them to the best effect possible. That’s where prioritization and focus come into play. The importance of the CompStat system is it really gives you a sense of where you’re getting the biggest bang for the buck with the personnel you do have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Oakland, some of my colleagues did a study there in 2006, some of which has just recently been implemented by Chief Jordan: the geographic distribution system with five police precincts. Part of our challenge will be coming in to very quickly get a sense of what the current circumstances are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Oakland police are making far fewer stops and arrests than they did a few years ago. Some officers say that that’s because of all the paperwork and recordkeeping required and because every stop they make is under careful scrutiny by a federal court. Is that concern legitimate?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: Well it’s exactly the same concern that was voiced in 2002, when I went to the LAPD. And we got the federal consent decree implemented and we got crime down by about 60 percent. We got the cops out of their cars and motivated once again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So hopefully working with Chief Jordan gives me the opportunity to provide some thoughts about experiences elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is what it is. You have a federal consent decree that was brought about because of the sense that the department was not performing appropriately. It’s not going to go away until certain elements are complied with. And you can gripe and groan as much as you want; it is a fact of life. Once you face that reality … in L.A., we made it one of the top three priorities to get it done, get it over with and move on. I’ll have a little better understanding once I get to Oakland, but I have to believe it is one of the top priorities of the city administration to get the thing complied with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: A year or so ago you described the OPD situation as a ‘perfect storm of bad.’ What did you mean by that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bratton\u003c/strong>: It’s that you had crises everywhere you looked. You had a crime crisis, a budget crisis, a political crisis, a crisis around the consent decree. I happen to actually see crises as an opportunity, so I have never gone into an environment that was not in crisis. And if there was not one, then I’d create one, because I think crises accelerates the need for change and change itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Somebody died here, we need to care!” was the cry rippling through a busy intersection near Oakland’s Lake Merritt on a recent chilly January morning. A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/14/besieged-oakland-residents-rally-against-gun-violence/\">dozen people spread out \u003c/a>along East 18th Street and Park Boulevard, holding signs that read “Peace on the Streets.” They passed out flyers and postcards to anyone who would take them. The few drivers who bothered to roll down a window got a card imploring them to “say something about the murder of our youth, the suffering of our families.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the demonstrators was Teresa Butler, who helped organize this coalition of residents concerned about the city’s deadly violence after her 18- year-old godson was killed by a stray bullet. The group is affiliated with the local church \u003ca href=\"http://www.truevine-ministries.com/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">True Vine Ministries \u003c/a>and goes by the name SAVE, which stands for Soldiers Against Violence Everywhere. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">People that are being murdered now are not gang-related, they’re innocent bystanders, they’re collateral damage.”\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“We have to be soldiers, the way these people come out every week, in cold and rain,” Butler said. “Every week, diligent–to me that’s a soldier.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every Saturday they gather at the site of a recent murder to chant and pray.

In December, an Oakland grandmother was killed when gunfire erupted as she was walking home from a store. About two weeks later, a 15-year-old girl was fatally shot as she walked to a transit station. True Vine Ministries’ pastor Zachary Carey said with more than 550 murders in the last five years, Oakland’s residents are living in a war zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our numbers are just so out of proportion that it’s unimaginable the homicides and the depression that people are feeling in these communities,” he said. “It’s alarming that we’ve seen such silence from the community, the community leaders and the local and state politicians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Crime\u003c/strong>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/25/among-oaklands-dead-whats-a-typical-case/\" target=\"_blank\">Among Oakland’s Dead, What’s a ‘Typical’ Case?\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland’s Gun Problem: 11 Firearm Crimes a Day\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Oakland city leaders have vowed to address the recent crime surge in new ways. Amid budget cutbacks to the Oakland police force, they’ve hired former Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton as a consultant. Pastor Carey and his church have been asked to take a leadership role in lobbying for a new bill by Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, AB 48, which would limit ammunition sales. But Carey said he believes nothing will change as long as people see deadly violence in Oakland as a local problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you hear about violence in America on the news, the tagline associated with it is gang-related,” Carey said. “Then if you’re living in Montclair, Piedmont, Walnut Creek then you’re like, ‘I’m not involved in a gang, that’ll never happen to me.’ But the reality is people that are being murdered now are not gang-related, they’re innocent bystanders, they’re collateral damage.

In December, an Oakland grandmother was killed when gunfire erupted as she was walking home from a store. About two weeks later, a 15-year-old girl was fatally shot as she walked to a transit station. True Vine Ministries’ pastor Zachary Carey said with more than 550 murders in the last five years, Oakland’s residents are living in a war zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our numbers are just so out of proportion that it’s unimaginable the homicides and the depression that people are feeling in these communities,” he said. “It’s alarming that we’ve seen such silence from the community, the community leaders and the local and state politicians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Oakland Crime\u003c/strong>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/25/among-oaklands-dead-whats-a-typical-case/\" target=\"_blank\">Among Oakland’s Dead, What’s a ‘Typical’ Case?\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/01/28/oaklands-gun-problem-11-firearm-crimes-a-day/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland’s Gun Problem: 11 Firearm Crimes a Day\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Oakland city leaders have vowed to address the recent crime surge in new ways. Amid budget cutbacks to the Oakland police force, they’ve hired former Los Angeles Police Chief William Bratton as a consultant. Pastor Carey and his church have been asked to take a leadership role in lobbying for a new bill by Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner, AB 48, which would limit ammunition sales. But Carey said he believes nothing will change as long as people see deadly violence in Oakland as a local problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you hear about violence in America on the news, the tagline associated with it is gang-related,” Carey said. “Then if you’re living in Montclair, Piedmont, Walnut Creek then you’re like, ‘I’m not involved in a gang, that’ll never happen to me.’ But the reality is people that are being murdered now are not gang-related, they’re innocent bystanders, they’re collateral damage.

We want to make sure that you have hope, that people out here will not let your loved one’s death be gone in vain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snead’s grandmother Nolla Beasley, was at the rally. She said she was touched. “I thank ’em for this, I like this, at least it makes the community aware.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beasley said Snead, who was the father of a young son, had recently left a telemarketing job to try to get something better-paying in construction. “Two days after he passed, the construction job called. I couldn’t do nothing but cry.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beasley has lived in West Oakland since the 1950s. She said her neighborhood has seen so much violence that in the last 10 years she’s taken to keeping to her home with the doors locked after 6 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m kind of leery just driving down the streets [wondering] who’s pulling up beside me,” she said. “It’s like I’m scared of the people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the group gets going on a new chant, SAVE organizer Teresa Butler peered at a spreadsheet to see who they’ll be remembering next Saturday. “We’re already three months behind,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butler said rallies for the six people who were murdered in the first few weeks of January aren’t even on her schedule yet.

A 16-year-old student is in custody for allegedly shooting a classmate and firing but missing at another student. Details from the Kern County Sheriff's Department press conference...\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The alleged shooter was a 16-year-old student at the school, Taft Union High School in Kern Co., who did not show up to science class this morning. But in the middle of that class, he appeared with a 12-gauge shotgun and fired at a fellow student, also 16, who is now in critical but stable condition. Another student is being checked for hearing damage sustained from the sound of the gunshot. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The shooter then named another student he intended to shoot, fired at that student and missed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It's believed that two to four shots total were fired. The suspect had about 20 rounds of ammunition on him.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>After the initial shots, the class teacher and the campus supervisor who had arrived engaged the suspect in conversation, allowing for the class to evacuate. The suspect then put the shotgun down and was taken into custody. At some point, the suspect told the teacher he didn't want to shoot him. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/local/x1055276200/Taft-High-site-of-shooting-Thursday\" target=\"_blank\">Bakersfield Californian\u003c/a>: \"The suspect pointed the gun in several directions while the teacher and campus supervisor talked to him.\" Congressman Kevin McCarthy, who was at the press conference, said \"I want to commend the teacher. I think he saved many lives today.\" \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/local/x1055276200/Taft-High-site-of-shooting-Thursday\">Bakersfield Californian\u003c/a>: \"Family identified that teacher, who officials said suffered a pellet gun wound to the head, as Ryan Heber. His father, David Heber, said he had heard rumors of a shooting at the school but wasn't initially worried that his son was a target. \"His students like him a whole bunch,\" said Heber, 70. \"He's not the kind of teacher a student would try to hurt. He's definitely someone who could talk a kid down in an emergency.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Someone saw the student enter the school campus with the gun had called 911, allowing for law enforcement to quickly arrive on the scene.\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>From the Sheriff's Department: \"We have not confirmed that [bullying] was an issue at this point. But obviously something occurred for this student to come in with a shotgun... There had been a dialogue that’s critical between the victim and suspect before this morning.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There is normally an armed Taft Police Dept officer on campus who was not at school today.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reporters kept asking about an alleged \"hit list\" that the suspect had been suspended for last year. Authorities could not confirm that.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Congressman McCarthy was asked whether he thought this would add fuel to a gun control push, but he said all the facts needed to be determined first.\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>More from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/local/x1055276200/Taft-High-site-of-shooting-Thursday\" target=\"_blank\">Bakersfield Californian\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Map of the area...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"425\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=taft+union+high+school&fb=1&gl=us&hq=taft+union+high+school&cid=0,0,5449479079195448321&t=m&ll=35.146863,-119.454346&spn=3.143953,4.669189&z=7&iwloc=A&output=embed\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=taft+union+high+school&fb=1&gl=us&hq=taft+union+high+school&cid=0,0,5449479079195448321&t=m&ll=35.146863,-119.454346&spn=3.143953,4.669189&z=7&iwloc=A&source=embed\">View Larger Map\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:15 p.m\u003c/strong>. 23ABC Bakersfield is reporting that one of the shooting victims was a student and one a teacher.

A 16-year-old student is in custody for allegedly shooting a classmate and firing but missing at another student. Details from the Kern County Sheriff's Department press conference...\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>The alleged shooter was a 16-year-old student at the school, Taft Union High School in Kern Co., who did not show up to science class this morning. But in the middle of that class, he appeared with a 12-gauge shotgun and fired at a fellow student, also 16, who is now in critical but stable condition. Another student is being checked for hearing damage sustained from the sound of the gunshot. \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The shooter then named another student he intended to shoot, fired at that student and missed.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It's believed that two to four shots total were fired. The suspect had about 20 rounds of ammunition on him.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>After the initial shots, the class teacher and the campus supervisor who had arrived engaged the suspect in conversation, allowing for the class to evacuate. The suspect then put the shotgun down and was taken into custody. At some point, the suspect told the teacher he didn't want to shoot him. From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/local/x1055276200/Taft-High-site-of-shooting-Thursday\" target=\"_blank\">Bakersfield Californian\u003c/a>: \"The suspect pointed the gun in several directions while the teacher and campus supervisor talked to him.\" Congressman Kevin McCarthy, who was at the press conference, said \"I want to commend the teacher. I think he saved many lives today.\" \u003c/li>\n\u003cli>From the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/local/x1055276200/Taft-High-site-of-shooting-Thursday\">Bakersfield Californian\u003c/a>: \"Family identified that teacher, who officials said suffered a pellet gun wound to the head, as Ryan Heber. His father, David Heber, said he had heard rumors of a shooting at the school but wasn't initially worried that his son was a target. \"His students like him a whole bunch,\" said Heber, 70. \"He's not the kind of teacher a student would try to hurt. He's definitely someone who could talk a kid down in an emergency.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Someone saw the student enter the school campus with the gun had called 911, allowing for law enforcement to quickly arrive on the scene.\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>From the Sheriff's Department: \"We have not confirmed that [bullying] was an issue at this point. But obviously something occurred for this student to come in with a shotgun... There had been a dialogue that’s critical between the victim and suspect before this morning.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>There is normally an armed Taft Police Dept officer on campus who was not at school today.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Reporters kept asking about an alleged \"hit list\" that the suspect had been suspended for last year. Authorities could not confirm that.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Congressman McCarthy was asked whether he thought this would add fuel to a gun control push, but he said all the facts needed to be determined first.\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>More from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bakersfieldcalifornian.com/local/x1055276200/Taft-High-site-of-shooting-Thursday\" target=\"_blank\">Bakersfield Californian\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Map of the area...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"425\" height=\"350\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" src=\"https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=taft+union+high+school&fb=1&gl=us&hq=taft+union+high+school&cid=0,0,5449479079195448321&t=m&ll=35.146863,-119.454346&spn=3.143953,4.669189&z=7&iwloc=A&output=embed\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=taft+union+high+school&fb=1&gl=us&hq=taft+union+high+school&cid=0,0,5449479079195448321&t=m&ll=35.146863,-119.454346&spn=3.143953,4.669189&z=7&iwloc=A&source=embed\">View Larger Map\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:15 p.m\u003c/strong>. 23ABC Bakersfield is reporting that one of the shooting victims was a student and one a teacher.
