Oakland Liquor Store Employee Draws Gun During Mob Attack

A chaotic incident unfolded at Golden Hours Liquor store in Oakland, California, where a worker was assaulted by a group of over a dozen bicyclists. The encounter escalated when the worker, who was being beaten, pulled out a gun, causing the attackers to scatter. Despite brandishing the weapon, no gunshots were fired, although Oakland Police responded to a 'ShotSpotter activation' and found evidence of a shooting. The video of the event, which has gone viral, shows the worker being hit multiple times before drawing the firearm for self-defense. This incident highlights the growing lawlessness in Oakland, a concern acknowledged even by California Governor Gavin Newsom. No arrests were made, and no injuries from gunfire were reported.
