COPWATCH: Oakland Police Officers Shot At in West Oakland

"Suspect detained after shots fired at Oakland officers" I produced this video with the help of Alex Weber and Josh Wolf By Sean Maher Oakland Tribune OAKLAND -- A man suspected of shooting at two police officers who tried to stop him on a West Oakland street was detained tonight after a massive search, police said. The officers were near the intersection of Sycamore and West streets around 7:30 pm, conducting a walking stop on the man and a woman standing with him, when the man drew a gun and opened fire on them for unknown reasons, said Officer Jeff Thomason, a police spokesman. "There is no indication that the officers fired back," Thomason wrote in an e-mail. Nobody was reported hurt in the shooting and the officers chased after the man, but he briefly evaded them. Officers detained him about 9 pm after they caught him walking out of a nearby building in a group of people. Officials did not immediately know why the officers stopped the two people or what kind of gun was used. The area remained locked down as investigators examined the scene of the shooting and chase Monday night.
