Teen Wounded in BART Train Shooting in Oakland as Police Probe Separate I-580 Gunfire

Investigators cite a likely prior connection between the teen and the gunman.

Overview

  • A 15-year-old was shot around 7:30 p.m. on a northbound BART train approaching Fruitvale Station and is hospitalized in stable, non-life-threatening condition.
  • BART Police are searching for the shooter and have not released a suspect description.
  • The train involved was taken out of service and moved for evidence processing, leading to minor delays.
  • About an hour later, CHP investigated gunfire on the eastbound I-580 on-ramp at Seminary Avenue after a Gold Subaru Outback fired at a black Ford Fiesta; no injuries were reported and one round struck the hood.
  • Riders and community advocates voiced safety concerns and called for more youth-focused intervention, mental-health support, and trauma-informed responses.
