OAKLAND -- Seven men were shot in a hail of gunfire that extended across three blocks of East Oakland on Monday night, police said.
Officers responded to reports of a shooting between 96th Avenue and Olive Street about 6:10 p.m. and cordoned off a second scene shortly after at 94th Avenue and Sunnyside Street, authorities said.
Seven men -- all between the ages of 23 and 31 -- were shot between the two crime scenes, officials said. Two of the men were in critical condition Monday night; five others were expected to survive.
It was unknown if any of the men were related or what motivated the shooting.
