The two men graduated from the same fire academy class about four months ago.
They were out with other members from their graduating class when the shooting happened.
Oakland Fire Battalion Chief Melinda Drayton says the two were confronted by a group of men when they left the event, which ended in both being shot.
By 7:30 a.m. Crime Scene Investigators (CSI) arrived at N. 10th and Taylor streets in connection to the shooting.
