According to Sacramento police, at least six people were killed and 12 more were injured in a shooting in the city's center.

Rapid gunfire erupted in an area densely crowded with restaurants and bars in the early hours of Sunday, sending people fleeing across the streets.

When officers responded to the gunshots, they encountered a "very huge throng," according to police chief Katherine Lester.

In the aftermath of the shootings, no suspect has been apprehended.

Chief Lester described the scenario as "really terrible."

Investigators had arrived at the scene, according to the officer, and he begged the public to come forward with any information that could help identify those responsible.

The shooting happened around 2:00 a.m. (09:00 a.m. GMT) near the intersection of 10th and K Streets, near the Golden One Center, where the Sacramento Kings play basketball.

It's also only a few blocks away from the state Capitol.

"I can't go until I figure out what's going on. There's no way I'm leaving. It appears to be a dream."

Kay Harris, 32, said she was sleeping when a member of her family contacted to report her brother had been murdered. According to the Associated Press, she believed he was in London, a nightclub on 10th Street.

She admitted to frequenting the club and describing it as a hangout for "the younger crowd."
