Davis, CA – Authorities responded to a shooting incident at Community Park in Davis on Saturday afternoon, where three individuals were wounded during a public gathering organized by a campus-affiliated group as part of UC Davis’ Picnic Day celebrations.
The shooting occurred during a well-attended event that drew hundreds of participants to the park.
According to Police, no fatalities have been reported, and the victims — described as young adults or juveniles — sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
All three were treated by emergency personnel at the scene and later transported by ambulance for further medical attention.
The pickup location was near the Davis Little League field.
Witnesses at the scene described hearing a series of popping sounds, initially believed to be fireworks, before realizing gunfire had erupted.
The suspect reportedly fled westward from the area immediately after the shooting.
Law enforcement has not yet released a description of the individual or confirmed whether the shooter knew the victims.
In response to the incident, F Street south of Covell Boulevard has been temporarily shut down, and traffic is being rerouted to allow emergency crews and investigators access to the scene.
Multiple police vehicles, ambulances, and fire engines remain on site as officers work to secure the area and gather evidence.
Despite the active crime scene, a large crowd remains in the park, many unaware of the full extent of the incident or waiting for updates.
Authorities are urging anyone with information, video footage, or who may have witnessed the shooting to contact the Davis Police Department immediately.
The investigation is ongoing, and additional details are expected to be released as they become available.
