The school serves students who are at risk of not graduating and have recently immigrated to the US after fleeing their home countries \u201cbecause of violence and instability\u201d, according to the school\u2019s website. It is one of four adjacent schools that serve middle and high school students on Fontaine Street in east Oakland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"6f630245-568c-4162-a139-0f8819553aef\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/e8fb48fa1303530cbb2a056a6a4d5ac2814e5c9e\/0_0_3057_2038\/master\/3057.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=85&amp;fit=max&amp;s=8e65642d79aebfc4789840467da6c392\" alt=\"A woman walks down a street with her hand to her head.

But by mid-2020 gun violence was on the upswing and the usual refuges of school, community centers and violence prevention workers were largely unavailable. By the end of the 2020, 102 people were killed, 24 more than the year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far this year, at least 96 people have been killed, mostly with guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\" id=\"2cca5729-015d-484f-a07a-0e1978a3f783\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.guim.co.uk\/img\/media\/5e485ea77a74296be4e558cde78ed1b3b7b328b3\/0_0_8034_5359\/master\/8034.jpg?width=445&amp;quality=85&amp;fit=max&amp;s=9ebe0fdb06b0e4eb126fdb6cef5d4b72\" alt=\"A woman stands with her arm around another woman as people mill about an open space.\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tonyia Carter, right, a senior violence interrupter, comforts a city aide after a shooting at a complex that houses several schools in east Oakland.

In 2020, at least 14 people under the age of 20 were killed, according to a Guardian analysis of state homicide data. The next year more would lose their lives including 18-year-old Demetrius Fleming-Davis, an Oakland native who was shot and killed while riding in the back of a truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA lot of us have plans that we can\u2019t even make happen because we die at 18 and 19. It\u2019s just a big war zone that we\u2019re facing and I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s gonna be stopped,\u201d said Cianna Williams, a 19-year-old friend of Fleming-Davis last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Tuesday, LeRonne Armstrong, Oakland\u2019s chief of police, announced plans to address the city\u2019s ongoing gun violence by increasing officers\u2019 presence in areas where gun violence is concentrated and where police think people are involved in shootings frequently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Associated Press contributed to this story<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At least six people were injured in a shooting at a school campus in Oakland, on Wednesday, authorities in the northern California city said.
