Oakland police arrested two people over the weekend after a gunshot at a backyard party led officers to an alleged cache of illegal firearms.<\/p>\n
Just after 2:15 a.m. Sunday, officers were sent to a home in the 7500 block of Arthur Street in East Oakland’s Arroyo Viejo neighborhood in response to an alert from the city’s automiatic gunshot detection system.<\/p>\n
When they arrived, officers discovered people having a party in the backyard and allegedly found evidence of a shooting, police said Thursday.<\/p>\n
Several people were detained and two were arrested, according to police, after officers found two rifles — including an assault rifle that had previously been reported stolen — and a handgun allegedly hidden behind a garage near the property.<\/p>\n
Two guns were found in a vehicle parked in the driveway and another was found inside the home, police said, adding that officers also found two other guns, one of which was a stolen handgun, somewhere else.<\/p>\n
Officers “additionally recovered evidence consistent with narcotics sales,” police said in a news release.<\/p>\n
Both people who were arrested were residents of the home. Police didn’t specify what charges they might face.<\/p>\n
