In Los Angeles at least three people were killed . Although some of the shootings were gang-related there were reports of multiple shootings at nightclubs and parties throughout the city. Two teenagers were killed just before the holiday began in the Hyde Park neighborhood while one person was killed and another wounded in Mid-City Los Angeles on Sunday. Aside from shootings, throughout the city, Hollywood also faced a string of violence when one person was fatally stabbed and five others injured. California also saw the killing of two young men in Fresno and Stockton.

In other cities throughout the nation, like Denver, a drive by shooting killed one and a one-year-old in New York was shot in the face while in his stroller dying almost instantly. These shootings are only a start to the conversation of how many people suffered through a violent Labor Day weekend.
