²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù

The ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù community is saddened by the news that individuals enjoying a day at Community Park in Davis were injured in a shooting Saturday afternoon. That the incident occurred as thousands of people were enjoying the university’s annual student-led Picnic Day on campus, is even more disheartening. The on-campus festivities were winding down when news broke about the shooting.

Like everyone, ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù is learning more from the city of Davis Police, who are leading this investigation. We wish a full recovery for those individuals who were injured. We’re grateful for the response from the Davis Police Department and other first responders on scene, including the ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù police and fire departments. We are checking in with our students to determine if any of those who were at Community Park today need support.

Picnic Day is a day when tens of thousands of visitors join us as we celebrate our people, programs and community. Our hearts go out to our students who organize such a massive effort on campus, and to all those in the city of Davis, where activities often peaceably continue.

As the Davis Police continue their investigation, we will cooperate fully.

We will provide updates that are pertinent to campus if we have them.
