    It does appear that two people were hit by the truck not bullets like I’d assumed, but there were police there not just Coast Guard personnel.

    There was no immediate update from police in Oakland, where the entrance to the bridge crossing to Coast Guard Base Alameda is located, or from the California Highway Patrol, which had officers in riot gear facing protesters for hours Thursday.

      Yes, but the state police were not involved in the truck incident or shooting. I found the video: https://youtu.be/30SPV3yGV54?t=13

      That’s a lot of shots fired. Not really sure wtf they were actually aiming at, since he was reversing toward them. The tires? You can see dirt puffs where bullets are hitting the ground in front of the truck.

      And then the moron just pulls forward, checks his phone, and drives off. No idea what his goal was, especially since he ditched the truck a few minutes later and walked away. Maybe we’ll find out once they search the truck and identify him.
