Demonstrators light candles at the shooting scene in Oakland on Nov. 10.
The AP reports from OAKLAND, Calif.:
Police are investigating a fatal shooting just outside the Occupy Oakland encampment that is further straining relations between local officials and anti-Wall Street protesters.
A preliminary investigation into the gunfire Thursday that left a man dead suggests it resulted from a fight between two groups of men at or near the camp on a plaza in front of Oakland's City Hall, police Chief Howard Jordan said.
Investigators do not yet know if the men in the fight were associated with Occupy Oakland, but they are looking into reports that some protest participants tried to break up the altercation, Jordan said. Continue reading.

all the occupy groups, keep up the good work.. we support you and as we can we will join the fight.. this government is out of control, the police are out of control.. maybe if we get this country back, we can get rid of all of them... police included.. they are corrupt and so is our government.. they are telling lies saying the police dont shoot unless they are threatened.. come on we know better... God bless and keep up the fight
I wonder when the family will sue the OWS Oakland camp - they clearly didn't have control of the few people they had at the camp - yet they are railing against corporations that have thousands of employee's? How can they expect to be seen as having an answer when they cannot even control a few of their own? OWS needs to be held accountable, they need to pay for this young mans murder - anything less shows they really don't care about anyone, just like they claim to be protesting against. I hope they step up or the family sues - it's only right.
