Four fans inside Athletics' stadium injured by bullet fragments during postgame fireworks

Four fans attending the fireworks show after Monday night's Oakland Athletics game were injured by bullet fragments fired by unknown people during what the Oakland Police Department calls "celebratory gunfire," which was occurring all around the city.

These fans were inside RingCentral Coliseum, the A's ballpark, according to a statement released by the OPD and the Athletics PR department.

The identities, injuries, and condition of the injured fans have not been released.

The A's had faced the Toronto Blue Jays before the fireworks began, winning 5-1. There were 24,403 fans at the ballpark, the largest Fourth of July crowd in nine years, according to Ray Ratto of Defector. That was partially due to the fireworks show the A's put on after the game, as well as tickets priced as low as $7.
