Oakland police on Tuesday said an officer killed a person early Tuesday near City Hall, but would not answer any other questions.
What is known is that an officer killed a person about 4 a.m. near San Pablo Avenue and 16th Street near Frank Ogawa Plaza and City Hall.
Police spokeswoman Kim Armstead said that police responded to that area because of a ShotSpotter activity; but it wasn't clear if that activity was generated because of the police shooting.She did say, however, that the officer performed CPR on the wounded person before they died and then was placed on administrative leave. Investigators from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office arrived before 7 a.m.
From the visual evidence at the scene, investigators were looking at a 4-door car that had a California exempt plate, which only belongs to police, fire or other state-owned cars. He said he was just getting off work when he got a ping on his phone. His CitizenApp went off, alerting him that something was happening on his block, near his home.
"Naturally, I pull up the cameras, I see flashing lights, and I decided to come and make my cameras available for police officers as quickly as possible to help reduce crime any way I can," he said. Details about that shooting have been minimal as well. Investigators were looking at a 4-door car that had a California exempt plate, which only belongs to police, fire or other state-owned cars.
