The protest yesterday kept local officers busy from 1 o'clock until nearly sundown yesterday. While mostly peaceful, FPD command staff did call in for assistance from Alameda County. Some 50 plus officers in several vans made their way to Fremont to help bolster security around the police station. Regional Parks copter Eagle 6 circled Fremont for several hours in the late afternoon as the crowd dispersed and made its way back to the Newpark Mall in Newark. By all accounts it was a peaceful event.
As the clock struck 8 the police scanner was mostly quiet. Then a report of a man with a rifle on Maple in the Centerville District. Upon further investigation, a man with a rifle and one with a handgun approach a home in the area. When they saw the owner outside, they fled in a white VW Jetta. An alert officer picked up the vehicle on Thornton and followed it onto Contra Costa before losing it in the neighborhood. Another officer found it on Paseo Padre and followed it onto westbound Mowry. As the officer activated the red lights the vehicle fled. A sergeant did not authorize a pursuit. Was this connected to the shooting on Blacow Monday night?
The heat wave peaks today and then starts a cool down.
