OAKLAND \u2014 An 18-year-old Vallejo man was shot in an altercation early Saturday morning in Oakland\u2019s Uptown, authorities said.<\/p>\n
He was in stable condition at a hospital and was being treated for a gunshot wound to his lower back, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened around 2:21 a.m. Saturday in the 500 block of 17th Street.<\/p>\n
According to initial police reports, there was a physical altercation involving the Vallejo man and another man, when a third male shot and wounded the victim in the lower back.<\/p>\n
The shooters\u2019 escape was aided by a fourth man, who punched an Oakland police officer trying to chase after the suspect, authorities said. That man was arrested for battery on a police officer, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Some stray bullets also hit a neighboring apartment building, although no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
Brian, 28, said he and his partner were in bed at the neighboring apartment complex when they heard what sounded like fireworks coming from a parking lot party nearby. They quickly hid in a bathroom to get away from their windows, Brian said, and later found a stray bullet on their bed and a hole in their bedroom window.<\/p>\n
Brian said he lives on the third-floor of the complex and bullets also struck a resident\u2019s apartment on the fourth floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the scariest thing we\u2019ve ever had to go through in Oakland,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019ve been in Uptown a few years now and nothing like that has ever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said he and his partner plan to move out of their apartment complex following the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not safe,\u201d he said. If this bullet would\u2019ve landed another way, it would\u2019ve been a totally different story.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police are investigating what started the fight that led to the shooting. Anyone with information can call investigators at 510-238-3426.<\/p>\n
