SACRAMENTO, Calif.—The shooting that left six people dead and 12 wounded outside bars just blocks from California’s Capitol last weekend was a gunfight involving at least five shooters from rival gangs, Sacramento police said Wednesday.

Police said they identified at least five gunmen but there may have been more. Only two suspects—both brothers wounded by gunfire—have been arrested in connection with the shooting and, so far, only face firearms charges.
