OAKLAND — Four males were injured during a spate of shootings that happened Monday afternoon within less than three hours of one another.
None were seriously injured, but police did not release the their names.
"We'd definitely like to take the shooters off the street before something really bad happens," Sgt. Gregg Dutton said.
In the first incident, an adult man and juvenile male were wounded in a drive-by shooting at 4:12 p.m. on the 1500 block of 23rd Avenue. Both were in stable condition late Monday afternoon.
The second shooting happened at
5:35 p.m. on the 2700 block of East 10th Street. A teenage male riding a bicycle was shot in the abdomen by a gunman who fled on foot to a nearby car, according to police. The victim was in stable condition late Monday afternoon.
The vehicles' descriptions in the first two shootings were not identical, and police said it was too early to determine whether any of the incidents were connected or gang-related.
Less than an hour later, a juvenile male was shot about 6 p.m. near East 28th Street and Bellavista Avenue.

Oakland Mayor's Race: LWV Forum Draws Oakland's Older Folks

Oakland Mayor's Race Forum first take. (Which means, there's going to be more of these posts on last night, because a lot was happening.) This just in: The Oakland Tribune's out of touch with Oakland. A number of attendees of the 450 estimated said they learned of the Oakland League Of Women Voters via "the newspaper." All of the people who made that statement were over 50 years old. Still, the forum, which attracted every candidate except Dr. Terrance Candell, was a success. The auditorium at 300 Lakeside Drive seats 380 people, so if you do the math, it was about 70 over capacity. The crowd was a happy mix of supporters of candidates and long-time observers of the Oakland political scene. The one complaint they had was there wasn't enough time to hear what the candidates were about. That wasn't because there were too many candidates, but due to the format. Either Oakland Tribune Editor Martin Reynolds or the League of Women Voter
