Other city officials were quiet online, though FOX 2 reported Oakland City Council member Loren Taylor also slammed gun violence in the city.
"What I know is guns are on our campuses where our babies are supposed to be protected and that is out of control," Taylor said. "We need to do more to protect the lives of our kids that means bringing in the resources, keeping the guns off the streets."
