Police Shoot U-Haul Driver Who Tried To Ram Into Alameda Coast Guard Base: DHS

ALAMEDA, CA — A U-Haul driver was shot Thursday night after trying to ram into the Coast Guard Base in Alameda, federal authorities said.

The driver was shot in the stomach and is expected to survive, according to the Department of Homeland Security. They are also being held for a mental health evaluation, authorities said.

A bystander was struck by a bullet fragment and was treated at a local hospital before being discharged, authorities said. A third person was also injured, but authorities did not say how.

The shooting happened around 10 p.m. Video posted by the Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday appears to show someone in a U-Haul truck in a small standoff with officers on a bridge leading towards the Coast Guard base.

Law enforcement can be heard yelling towards the truck driver, who at some points begins to speed backwards towards them.

Officers then shoot a barrage of bullets at the truck, which can then be seen speeding off. No Coast Guard personnel or law enforcement were injured in the process, according to DHS.

The shooting came hours after people took to the base in Alameda to protest Donald Trump's decision to deploy federal agents in San Francisco. Agents who arrived Thursday morning at the base were met by hundreds of protesters.

Later that morning, San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced that Trump had called off his decision to deploy federal forces into the Bay Area.
