Police are investigating an incident in which gunshots were apparently fired at an Oakland under-17 rowing team during a regatta on the Sacramento River.

Fred Ackerman heard the gunshots. So did all the parents watching their sons compete for the Oakland Strokes under-17 rowing team during a regatta at the Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel last month. But none of them realized the magnitude of what had happened until hours later. 'One of the moms is looking at this video she shot and noticed that she saw splashes timed with the sounds,' Ackerman told The Times during a phone interview on Monday.

Officers on the ground and in the air conducted 'a thorough search' covering 'a large proximity with rough terrain in some areas.' The officers found no evidence of a shooting. Two days later, however, police received a video of the incident obtained by KTXL-TV in Sacramento that showed 'that the shots seemed directed towards the rowers,' the Police Department's release stated.
