A man was shot to death backstage at a Wiz Khalifa rap concert in northern California, and the gunman remained at large, police said yesterday.
The 38-year-old man was hit by gunfire at the concert on Friday night at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, police spokeswoman Shino Tanaka said in a statement. Mountain View is near San Jose.
The victim, who was not immediately identified, was shot multiple times, apparently with a pistol that had a large magazine, Tanaka said.
“This was a senseless tragedy,” Khalifa said in a post on Twitter. “Violence is never the answer. My prayers go out to the victim’s family.”
Khalifa said on Twitter that a concert planned for last night at the Sleep Train Amphitheater in Chula Vista, Calif., near San Diego, was canceled.
A recorded message at the theater confirmed that the show was canceled and would not be rescheduled.
A man in his 20s was being sought, and police were asking help from anyone at the concert who might have shot videos or taken pictures in the vicinity of the shooting.
