Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong visited the victims at the hospital Tuesday afternoon and spoke to reporters.
"Looking at a young lady who was injured, reminds me of my own children. This has to stop and we all need to take a stance against young violence in the city of Oakland that has taken the lives of multiple young people over the last four days in this city," said Chief Armstrong.
The chief says the police department will work with the California Highway Patrol to find the suspects.
The CHP is handling the investigation. Officers have not released any information about the victims other than that they are all women. They have not said what the motive was behind the attack or released any information about who did this.
The CHP is asking for anyone with information to reach out to investigators.
