Federal Protective Services officer shot and killed in Oakland, FBI says

SF Gate – by Eric Ting

A Federal Protective Services officer was shot and killed Friday night, the FBI reports, as protests and riots took place in the city of Oakland.

In a statement, the FBI stated the shooting occurred at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building at 1301 Clay St. Authorities say a vehicle pulled up to the building and an assailant inside the vehicle began firing gunshots at security personnel stationed outside. 

Two officers were shot, with one succumbing to his injuries and dying. The second officer was injured and his condition was not released by the FBI.

The Oakland Police Department and FBI are working together on an investigation and no other information was made available.

Thousands gathered for protests over the killing of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department, but the situation devolved into chaos and there are widespread reports of damage.

In total, 22 people were arrested in Oakland, with 18 arrested by the Oakland Police Department and four arrested by other agencies. In addition, 60 suspected looters were detained for further investigation.

Oakland Interim Police Chief Susan Manheimer has released a statement pleading with demonstrators to remain peaceful and respectful.

“They started out peaceful, and we stood with our community here in the city of Oakland to provide safe spaces and respectful spaces for demonstrators,” Manheimer said. “What we saw later on in the evening turned violent and disruptive.”
