[quote]OAKLAND — A man suspected of firing several shots Friday morning over the course of a tense hour-long manhunt in East Oakland was hit by police gunfire before being taken into custody, authorities said. Law enforcement sources identified the suspect as Jesse Ross Enjaian, 32, a computer science engineer, but Oakland police have not confirmed his name. Enjaian, 32, was seen shortly after 9 a.m. carrying a rifle with a scope and firing from the window of a home in the 9500 block of Las Vegas Avenue, a neighborhood near 98th Avenue and Interstate 580. Police confronted him on the street and he fired several shots at officers before one fired back, hitting him. Some buildings were hit by the rifle fire, but no one else, including police, were hurt.. Enjaian was able to flee the confrontation on foot. He was later detained nearby, transported to a local hospital with report of injuries, and is currently in serious condition, police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson said. Officers recovered the rifle with a scope from the scene, Watson said. No other injuries were immediately reported, but police were canvassing the area to be sure. The area was also being surveyed for damage from the gunfire. Residents and businesses were asked to shelter in place after the first shots were first reported about 9:05 a.m. in the 9500 block of Las Vegas Avenue near 98th Avenue and Golf Links Road. Christopher Ransom, who lives on Golf Links Road, a block from Las Vegas, heard four shots being fired in rapid succession. At first, he thought it might be firecrackers, but then his neighbor called him to tell him there was a gunman in his neighborhood. “Bap, bap, bap, bap,” Ransom recalled of the sound of shots being fired. “Then it was real quiet.” He looked out his window and saw that four police cars blocked off the street. Although he’s accustomed to hearing the sound of shots fired along with fireworks, Ransom said it was still very scary to think that a shooter was nearby. “I was quite frightened. It’s just a little too close to home,” he said. “You just never know these days what’s going on with these wackos out here.” Aerial video footage showed the suspect spray painting a crude image on the hood of a white car and standing by a residential garage door that had also been spray painted. He is holding a rifle in the videos. Police shut down Interstate 580, 98th Avenue and surrounding streets during the manhunt. Bishop O’Dowd High School and businesses in the area were given the all-clear about 10:20 a.m., allowing them to resume normal activities after a lockdown that lasted over an hour. Streets in the area, including Las Vegas Avenue, will be closed for several hours while police investigate the scene, Watson said.[/quote] [url]http://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/02/17/active-shooter-sought-near-oakland-zoo-in-east-oakland/[/url] [media]https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/832649597495472128[/media] [media]https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/832654907094159360[/media] Can't believe this wasn't already posted.

no innocents hurt, and the shooter in custody and not dead? sounds pretty good to me

What a dickhead.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;51838443]Fucking miraculous.[/QUOTE] Bad shot, more like. Good to see the police got him without any casualties. Rifle vs. pistols doesn't always go so well.

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;51839400]Neither does computer engineer vs. police officer(s).[/QUOTE] True that. This is just a random-ass guess, but it could be he couldn't bring himself to kill, so he fired over their heads.
