OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) -- U.S. Coast Guard security guards posted at Coast Guard Island in Alameda opened fire Thursday night on a driver who officials said was trying to ram through a gate.
The shooting occurred around 10 p.m. at the site where hundreds of protesters gathered earlier in the day, near Embarcadero and Dennison Street in Oakland. According to Coast Guard officials, security watched a vehicle driving erratically toward the base and gave multiple verbal commands to stop.
The driver failed to stop, according to USCG, and instead put the vehicle in reverse and attempted to back into Coast Guard Island and ram a gate.
