Back to breaking news we have for you this morning where the offduty sf Police Officer shot a man in el cerrito. Lets take a listen. Officers circulated both areas and found somebody that had been shot behind me in the residential area. That man is in his 40s. I dont have his identifying information right now. He sustained gunshot wound injury, does not appear to be lifethreatening. Through the investigation, we determined that the person who shot him, the offduty Police Officer from San Francisco Police Department, that invokes a protocol here in Contra Costa County whereby the Contra Costa County District Attorney is summoned, basically automatically because its a policeinvolved incident, as well as criminalists from the Contra Costa County sheriffs crime lab, and they have Police Detectives and crime scene investigators throughout the evening. As we said earlier, the San Francisco Police Department is also involved. Really do not have any information as to the outcome or what happened in the confrontation between the two of them. There is a very active investigation. People are still been interviewed, so we really dont have much information as to why these things happened just yet, but as of now, the police are investigating thises is a possible criminal investigation. As far as administrative things about the San Francisco Police Department and their employee, i would have to refer those questions to the San Francisco Police Department. How is the officer doing . He seems to be fine. Was the suspect armed . Not with a firearm. Another type of weapon we wont describe just yet. What did the officer say . I will not be able to discuss that just yet. Still actively being investigated, still in progress as we speak. [ inaudible question ] i dont know what his work schedule was yesterday, so it is possible, but i didnt hear that he was getting off of work exactly. Reporter is there a chance he was arrested or does it appear to be a justified shooting . Not ready to go there yet. Theyre literally still interviewing him. Reporter does the officer live around here . I also wont comment on where he lives. Reporter do you know exactly [ inaudible ] through your investigation . It is for the most part just outside of that Apartment Building with the red car in front of it, basically in the sidewalk area in front of it. Reporter can you describe this area . Do you have many robberies in this area . Weve been listening to El Cerrito Police for an officerinvolved shooting investigation that happened overnight. A little convoluted this morning. This is the bottom line. There was a San Francisco Police Officer who was off duty in el cerrito, when some sort of confrontation happened between him and another man who is in his 40s. The result is that man in his 40s who was armed with something other than a weapon other than the gun was by a San Francisco Police Officer. Because it was a Police Officerinvolved shooting that automatically triggers a protocol. The Contra Costa County District Attorneys office now gets involved with that investigation, as does the Contra Costa County Sheriffs Department and their crime lab. So Sharon Katsuda is our reporter out there on the scene. You might have heard her asking some questions. Well try to get her to put this information together and well get that for you in a bit.

As we head over to mike, youve been looking at oakland. I was taking a look, kari, traffic flow is really nice right now. Were looking past the coliseum, no closures. The overnight roadwork looks like its not there this morning, just over at high street. There are patches, places like highway 4 over at 680, right over there, there may be one connector that still has some work going on. There was a closure overnight but now everything is moving smoothly between 242 and 680, over on highway 4 and you could have cut that corner anyway but you dont have to. Getting toward the bay bridge we have that little fire reported off of 580 over at central avenue. Weve seen no slowing and no expansion of that report. There was a small roadside fire reported kind of under the overpass there. No car is at risk and a smooth drive to the south bay and along the peninsula as well. A nice easy drive, the slowing typical out of the altamont pass. Just 20 minutes from the altamont over toward 680, the dublin interchange. A little brake tap one or two places along 84, so well make that yellow instead of green but its nice. And no problems for the early transit reports. We have four b. A. R. T.
