Officer was transported to John Muir. Hoping for the best.
Side note, whoever runs unmarked black Camrys and white Aerostars needs to get it under control. The other 40 marked units already ahead of you are en route also. Totally irresponsible driving.

Hope the Officer is OK and hope it's no one we know.

KTVU:
ALAMO, Calif. —


A California Highway Patrol officer was shot and a suspect wounded during an exchange of gunfire on a major East Bay freeway Tuesday during the morning rush hour, authorities said.

The California Highway Patrol confirmed that one of its officers and a suspect had been wounded around 8:30 a.m. in Highway 680 near Alamo.

The busy freeway has been shut down and the southbound lanes of Highway 680 were being forced to exit at Livorna Road.

The victims reportedly have been taken to John Muir Hospital by ambulance with a police escort.

No other details were immediately available.

[Tharkûn]

All the best hopes for the Chippie, but the side note is also true. After there are several dozen LEOs on scene there's no reason for others to continue to roll Code 3. I've seen it happen before and it's dangerous and unnecessary.

I absolutely understand where they're coming from, but when other cars are locking up their brakes, swerving, and crashing, you need to rein it in. A lot.

Still nothing updated on the Officer's condition.

I just heard on KRON the officer was shot in the neck.

Good thoughts for the CHP officer.

And they estimate 680 will still have problems into the afternoon commute. FYI.

680 to open by 3PM, as of this post.

Office and suspect in serious condition at hospital.

Officer was hit, second officer returned fire and hit suspect.

Just heard over the radio- all Mtz. CHP Officers to report to the ballroom at John Muir for debriefing.

I hope it's not bad news.

I heard that there is still a suspect on the loose. Was there more then one suspect involved?
Prayers going out to the officers who were injured.

 

[mean dad]

As much as I hate when I get a speeding ticket, its still messed up when a poor guy gets shot doing his job.
