OAKLAND — Three Oakland police officers were shot to death, one in is critically injured in two separate incidents involving one suspect near the Eastmont police substation this afternoon, a police spokesperson said.
Initial reports from law enforcement sources had stated that four officers were killed. However, police revised that statement a short time ago.
The first shooting happened in the 7400 block of MacArthur Boulevard about 1:16 p.m. today when two motorcycle officers were wounded. What led to the shooting was not immediately known.
About 3:20 p.m., two more police officers were wounded in an exchange of gunfire with the suspect while trying to take him into custody in the 2700 block of 74th Avenue. That suspect was shot and killed.

Burroughs was right about a lot of things .
Exactly, if there is a crime they rush to take guns away from everyone who DIDN’T do it. Even more ridiculous is taking away guns from our country so that Mexican drug gangs will stop shooting each other. These cartels make BILLIONS of dollars. They can afford whole boatloads of real machine guns, grenades and ordnance and there are plenty of countries all too glad to sell it to them. News stories all the time state that Mexican gangs were found with grenades, RPGs etc. They don’t buy that stuff from Texas gun shows. Pelosi claims that 90% of their weapons come from the US. Riiiight. And they will be good and get landscaping jobs if we just pass another US gun law.
