OAKLAND, CA

Another emergency blood drive will be held for Officer Todd Young Wednesday at Santa Clara High School, the school he graduated from. The blood drive will be held at the science lecture hall between 2:15 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Officer Young remains in serious but stable condition after three surgeries at Highland Hospital in Oakland.

Young was in civilian clothes when he and another officer tried to arrest Barrientos last week in East Oakland.
