"This guy sat on the door, put his arms up over the hood, and very clearly I saw what looked like a couple of semi-automatic weapons, certainly sounded like it," said the driver, a father of two, whose identity KTVU is concealing for his protection. "I could very clearly see the windows breaking on this car. I could see shells hitting the ground."
It happened three cars in front of him as he was passing the MacArthur Boulevard exit in Oakland on Sunday just before 4 p.m. "My first thought is, number one I’ve got two little boys in the back seat. I don’t want them to be in the line of fire of this, so I’m trying to back off," said the driver. The California Highway Patrol has not released much information about the possible shooting. "No details regarding the original call have been confirmed at this time and the investigation is ongoing,"
