Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg was shocked and saddened after the mass shooting. He wrote in a tweet that he could not express his shock and sadness, and the number of dead and wounded is difficult to comprehend.

Steinberg added that they await more information about exactly what transpired in the tragic incident. Steinberg wrote in a tweet:

Community activist Berry Accius recalled the scene shortly after the incident and said:

"The first thing I saw was, like, victims. I saw a young girl with a whole bunch of blood on her body, a girl taking off glass from her, a young girl screaming saying, 'they killed my sister.' A mother running up, 'where's my son, has my son been shot?' You know, commotion, trauma. It's just a lot of things that, you know, you don't want to see."
