On the A’s podcast with Jerry F

#1 Jerry, four fans were struck by gun fire at the Oakland Coliseum none received life threatening injuries during Monday’s firework’s show does something like this strengthen the argument of A’s team president David Kaval that the team needs to get out of the Oakland Coliseum.

#2 Players are concerned as you might know after something like this not only for the employees and fans safety but for their own safety too.

#3 The A’s during the Monday night game against the Toronto Blue Jays drew the largest crowd of their season 24,403 and Oakland Police said the gun fire came outside of the Coliseum.

#4 Crime Stoppers of Oakland and the Oakland Police are offering an $20,000 award for the arrest of the suspect in this case.

#5 The shots took place as fireworks were being displayed for fans at the Coliseum and when the bullets came down they struck fans.
