A 26-year-old Oakland man was wounded Wednesday night during a shooting in South Berkeley, authorities report.
Police responded to California and Harmon streets just before 10:30 p.m. after getting multiple reports of gunfire there, BPD said in a prepared statement.
No one was in the area when officers arrived, but police found evidence of gunfire in the street, BPD said. At least one parked vehicle was damaged by gunfire, too.
A short time later, a 26-year-old Oakland man who had been wounded in the shooting arrived at a local hospital, BPD said. He is expected to recover.
