Welcome to California where, apparently, you aren't even safe from crime while on a row boat in the middle of the river.
This is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen:
You can see where the bullets hit the water right on the other side of the boat from this camera angle.
I heard at least three shots fired as the boys in the boat just kept rowing.
I don't know what else they could do at that point. Bailing out would have made them sitting ducks.
It happened while the team of 15- and 16-year-olds participated in the final stretch of a regatta around 1:30 in the afternoon of April 20 ...
'I was pretty shocked. I think all of us were. It's horrifying, to think in this peaceful, green setting, the final push of this race - to see and hear that.' said Fred Ackerman, a parent of one of the rowers in the boat at the time. 'No one saw the shooter. There were dozens and dozens of people, there were boaters and people walking around on the trail. Police don't know where the shots came from, but they do know it was a gun.'
The police have no clue what happened. No shooter was found, no gun was found, and there's no evidence at all to speak of outside the video.
West Sacramento police are looking into it, but have nothing to report.
