OAKLAND -- Residents in Oakland's Trestle Glen neighborhood say for the most part they're used to dealing with property crime like stolen catalytic converters and break-ins here and there, but not violence like this. . Arriving Oakland police officers learned that two individuals -- including one armed with a firearm -- had approached the victim, a woman reportedly in her early 60s.
"I heard a woman screaming and my wife and I ran downstairs and ran outside," Johnson said."She had run up the street a little bit, was able to keep her purse and apparently the guy shot into the ground to frighten her, but she did keep her purse." "We're seeing that these offenders are very dangerous," OPD public information officer Kim Armstead said. 'We're asking individuals who might be approached by someone, whether they're armed or not, to not resist."
