“You can see him spraying some kind of, um, I don’t know if it’s a picture or a message on the car.”
Well, ma’am. I’m not sure how long it’s been since you’ve been away from the news desk and out on the prowl for some man meat, but that’s a big ol’ pecker, young lady.
Oakland Police responded to an active shooter situation around 9:05 a.m. this morning, and Interstate 580 was briefly shut down as a result. At that point, the man opened fire on them with a rifle and scope, forcing the officers to take cover behind whatever they could find.
At least one officer returned fire, but it’s unknown if the suspect was hit during the exchange. Officers eventually detained the man and recovered the rifle and scope, and we’re happy to report that no cops or residents were harmed during the extremely scary situation.
Of course, there is absolutely nothing funny about an active shooter situation. But the fact that he has since been captured and everybody is OK allows us to take a look at one odd moment from this morning that, again, now that we know everybody is safe and unharmed along with the fact that he is in custody, should give you a pretty good chuckle.

Of course if that’s your car, then yeah, it’s not that funny.
