Details are still coming in, but a police spokesperson tells ABC7 News that officers were responding to a home burglary in progress near Chestnut and 34th Street. They confronted two burglars, one of which had a knife, the other had what turned out to be a fake gun.
A female officer opened fire and shot the suspect with the replica gun. No word yet on whether he pointed it at the officer or what sparked the shooting.
Police are only saying the burglary suspect was shot in the shoulder and sustained non-life threatening injuries. He was rushed to the hospital and is expected to be okay.
Just yesterday, Police Chief Howard Jordan admitted an officer shot an innocent person Wednesday night while investigating an armed robbery in downtown Oakland.
That shooting victim was considered a suspect but was later found to be innocent.
