At least six people are dead and 10 others injured following a mass shooting incident in Sacramento, California.

It took place at 2:00AM local time, in an area leading to the Golden One Centre where the Sacramento Kings play basketball.

Known to be a vibrant part of the city, people fled from restaurants and bars during the early hours of Sunday local time as gunfire broke out.

Police have described the situation as “tragic” and there is no suspect in custody at this stage.

Members of the public have been urged to come forward if they have any information regarding the attacker or attackers.

It’s expected the incident will only further inflame the already intense gun violence debate throughout the US.

Sacramento’s Mayor says the fatalities are “difficult to comprehend”

He added, “rising gun violence is the scourge of our city, state and nation, and I support all actions to reduce it”.

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, balancing inflation and jobs, as some governors advocate for a cut.

The Federal Reserve has opted to keep interest rates unchanged, marking the first pause since July. Officials are showing little urgency to resume cuts, even after previous rate reductions.

Two Fed governors opposed the decision, calling for a quarter-point cut, highlighting ongoing debates within the rate-setting committee, which includes both appointed governors and regional bank presidents.

Concerns over the job market and persistent inflation continue to weigh heavily on the Fed’s policy decisions, leaving economists and investors closely watching the next moves.

U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Iran to return to nuclear negotiations, warning that failure to do so could result in a far more severe military response. Posting on Truth Social, Trump signalled a hardening stance as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to rise.
