OAKLAND, Calif. -- Two adults were shot during a high school graduation in Oakland, according to police. Some of the chaos was caught on video.

The incident occurred around 7:45 p.m. Thursday at Skyline High School in Oakland when two people, currently identified as an unnamed man and an unnamed woman, were shot on the north side of campus while the graduation ceremony was taking place, according to a statement from the Oakland Police Department.

The two shooting victims were taken to local hospitals where they are currently listed in stable condition.
