A group of teenage rowers from Oakland found themselves under fire in neighboring Sacramento during a race they were in on the river -- and we mean that quite literally.
Nine different boys -- ranging in age from 15 to 16 years old -- were rowing their boat along the Sacramento River late last month during a regatta run-through that was being held in the region ... and they were literally in the middle of their race when gunshots rang out.
The video is wild ... you can see and hear them focused on their task, when suddenly -- a few shots come their way from somewhere along the river bank.
