Yesterday at around 11 00 in the morning, the gunman barricaded himself in this shoe store, took a hostage and opened fire. After several hours, police were able to negotiate the employee. The suspect remained agitated firing more rounds. A few hours later they coaxed him out bringing him into custody. We will continue to demonstrate to our community that we are serious about reducing the violence. For those that responsible for the violence, we will seek to take you into custody. Police say the suspect was wanted in connection to a double homicide last week on 84th avenue. Oakland Unified School District is apologizing for releasing a survey that included a historically racist term for people of asian dissent. The Communications Director said we are sorry for anyone who saw it and felt the crushing weight of historic Racism Associated with the word.
