“Possible sniper shoots Northern Calif. squad”
By Marisa Lagos
The San Francisco Chronicle
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “RICHMOND, Calif. — Someone apparently shot out the window of a Richmond police patrol car just outside the department’s headquarters this morning, shattering the back window of the cruiser but not injuring the officer driving the vehicle, officials said.
The mystery shot occurred as a patrol officer was pulling out of the driveway of the new police headquarters at 1689 Regatta Blvd. around 7:40 a.m., said Lt. Mark Gagan. It comes one day after the department rolled out SWAT teams because of what officers call an escalating gang war on this East Bay city’s streets. So far this week, 11 people have been shot, three of them fatally.
“(The officer) was pulling out of the main driveway going on patrol when he heard a pop and another officer did as well,” Gagan said. “The shot came from the east, and there was a car speeding by in the other lane but we didn’t get any info and there are a lot of places (around the station) for a sniper.”
Police are investigating the incident but are so far unsure where the potential shooter was located.”
