Are downtown events canceled after Sacramento mass shooting? What we know so far

Monday morning updates on downtown businesses can be found here.

The following events were scheduled for downtown Sacramento on Sunday, April 3. Six people were killed and 12 others injured in an early morning shooting in the area.

Residents were asked to avoid the area near 10th and K streets, which is packed with restaurants and bars that leads to the Golden 1 Center. The Blue Line light-rail system is operating a bus bridge between Globe and 13th Street Station, a spokeswoman for Sacramento Regional Transit said. The line is operating normally otherwise, said Devra Selenis, a spokeswoman for RT.

Police closed L, K and J streets between 9 and 13th streets for the investigation.

Here’s what we know so far:

Sacramento Runners Association race

The 2022 USATF Masters 10 Mile Championships, hosted by the Credit Union SACTOWN 10 Mile Run and put on by the Sacramento Runners Association, proceeded as scheduled.

The SRA 10-mile run and 5K have routes through the downtown area.

Broadway Sacramento

Broadway Sacramento has scheduled performances of “Wicked” at 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The shows will go on as scheduled and the venue said it is safe to gather, but the area is impacted by the shooting and it may affect parking, according to the box office’s automated voice message system.

Sacramento Kings

The Sacramento Kings play the Golden State Warriors at 6 p.m. Sunday at the Golden 1 Center. The game is still scheduled on all online listings on the team’s website and Golden 1 Center’s page.

The King’s released the following statement just after 9:30 a.m. Sunday:

“Our community grieves as we mourn those lost today senselessly killed by gun violence. Our prayers are with those who have been wounded and heart goes out to all the families in anguish affected by this devastating act.”

Clubs

The area surrounding the shooting is still an active crime scene as of 1:15 p.m. Sunday. Several clubs and music venues operate in the area, including London Sacramento at 1009 10th St., which bills itself as a “multi-level boutique nightclub & ultra lounge” on its website. At least two of the victims had gone to London the night of the shooting.

The Dive Bar, which contains a live mermaid tank, is nearby, along with the Social Nightclub. Both are on the section of K Street closed for the investigation.

Additionally, Mix Downtown, a nightclub at 1525 L Street, posted on Instagram that it would be closed Sunday night.
