The East Bay Panthers youth football team from Oakland is looking for another place to play and practice after gun violence at its home venue.
There have been two shootings in one week in and around Verdese Carter Park on 96th and Bancroft Avenues in East Oakland. Both happened around the same time in the evening when kids with the East Bay Panthers Football team were practicing.
"The coaches and some parents that were in the park literally got all the kids to kind of get down," Provost said."Extremely frustrated; my son, I know he's affected, he's a little bit different."Oakland Police said while they found evidence of a shooting on the 1900 block of 96th Avenue, they didn't find any victims.
Luckily, no one was injured in the shooting. Still, the team and parents were so terrified that this past weekend, the East Bay Panthers were bused to play at Santa Rosa's Newman High School for what would have been a home game, more than an hour away.
