Sniper Takes Aim at Police in West Oakland

We might want to chalk this up to some copycat anti-cop rage following on that major shootout with the CHP on 580, but last night around 11:30 p.m. the Oakland PD were detaining suspects in a car on suspicion of drug charges near 8th and Adeline in West Oakland when shots began coming at them from somewhere they couldn't see. They moved to shield themselves and the detainees, and a later investigation of a nearby high-rise led nowhere. They're now on the hunt for an apparent sniper. [NBC Bay Area]
