Wounded man is arrested after shooting

An exchange of gunfire Wednesday night in Jack London Square left a 37-year-old man with a selfinflicted wound and under arrest, while the man who shot at him was being sought, authorities said.

A 24-year-old woman with the man who was shot was also arrested for trying to hide his gun, authorities said.

The shooting, which left several parked vehicles with bullet holes, happened about 7:05 p.m. Wednesday in the 90 block of Broadway, near the avenue's southern end at the waterfront.

Police said the 37-yearold man and the woman were walking on the sidewalk when another man ran up to them and began shooting at them.

The 37-year-old man pulled his own gun, police said. It was believed he fired more than one shot at the other gunman but also shot himself in the foot, authorities said.

The gunman who initially opened fire fled before a swarm of police got to the area.

The wounded man was taken to a hospital for treatment. He was placed under arrest at the hospital on suspicion of several charges, including assault with a firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm.

The woman was found with the gun trying to hide it in a nearby business. She was arrested on suspicion of carrying a concealed firearm.

Police were trying to determine a motive for the shooting and identify the man who initially opened fire.

Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $7,500 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the other shooter. Anyone with information may call police at 510-238-3426 or Crime Stoppers at 510777-8572.
