Two Oakland police officers and a suspect ended up in the hospital Friday following a traffic stop in which the suspect attempted to flee and an officer opened fire, police said.<\/p>\n
The incident played out at about 3:15 a.m. along the 1200 block of 9th Avenue, according to police.<\/p>\n
While conducting a traffic stop, officers spotted a firearm in the vehicle, police said. The suspect proceeded to flee, dragging one officer and pinning the other between the suspect’s vehicle and a parked car. One of the officers opened fire, striking the suspect.<\/p>\n
Both officers were taken to a local hospital and listed in stable condition, police said. The suspect also was hospitalized in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Both officers will be placed on paid administrative leave, in accordance with the police department’s policy.<\/p>\n
The police department, Alameda County District Attorney\u2019s Office and the Community Police Review Agency will conduct independent investigations into the incident.<\/p>\n
“The Oakland Police Department remains committed to transparency and understands community concerns,” the police department said in a statement. “To ensure the investigation\u2019s integrity, information is limited at this time. More details will be shared as soon as the investigation allows, and in compliance with the law.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two Oakland police officers and a suspect ended up in the hospital Friday following a traffic stop in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":206253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[143,145,144],"class_list":["post-306228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=306228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/306228\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/206253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=306228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=306228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=306228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
