What we know:<\/p>\n
Oakland police said that officers tried to stop a suspect in a car \u2013 for reasons they didn’t immediately explain \u2013 about 3:15 a.m. in the 1200 block of 9th Avenue.<\/p>\n
During the stop, police said they saw a gun in “plain view.”<\/p>\n
The suspect then tried to get away in his car, police said.<\/p>\n
As he was driving away, Oakland police said he began “dragging one officer and pinning another between the suspect vehicle and a parked car.”<\/p>\n
That’s when an officer fired his weapon, hitting the suspect.<\/p>\n
Police said they performed life-saving measures until paramedics arrived.<\/p>\n
At the scene later Friday morning, a white car was spotted up on the sidewalk with crime scene tape surrounding it and piles of garbage nearby.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As per OPD policy, the officers involved will be placed on paid administrative leave and will be investigated by the Oakland Police Department, the Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office and the Community Police Review Agency.\u00a0<\/p>\n
