An Oakland police officer shot and injured a person during a traffic stop in the city’s Eastlake neighborhood early Friday morning.
Patrol officers pulled over someone at about 3:15 a.m. in the 1200 block of Ninth Avenue and saw a gun in plain sight, according to police.
The suspect allegedly tried to drive away, dragging one officer and pinning another between the suspect’s vehicle and a parked car.
One officer then shot the suspect, whose name, age and gender weren’t released.
The officers provided aid to the suspect until paramedics arrived, police said.
The suspect and two officers were taken to the hospital and listed in stable condition.
The officers were placed on paid administrative leave and investigations are underway by the Oakland Police Department, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office and the city’s Community Police Review Agency.
No additional information was provided by Oakland police Friday morning.
