A spokesperson for the Alameda County Health Care Services Agency confirmed to Fox News late Tuesday that the actions depicted in the video "occurred while the EMTs were attending to victims" related to the Saturday evening shooting.
The spokesperson, Jerri Applegate Randrup, said the crowd or their actions "did not impact or impede the treatment" or transport of any of the patients to a local hospital, which was approximately 10 minutes away.
Randrup said the first Falck ambulance arrived at the scene in just over five minutes, and all ambulances that responded "were able to locate, assess, provide immediate treatment, load, and depart the scene to the local trauma center" in less than eight minutes from the time they arrived.

"Falck reported that as soon as they loaded the patients and were ready to leave, the crowd backed away and let them leave without pushback or issue,"Randrup added in an email.
