"Shortly before 2 that morning, the Vista woman and another woman forced their way into a fourth-floor apartment in a building on Adeline Street near Russell Street, at least one of them armed with a handgun, according to a news release from police Friday. During a dispute that followed, the Vista woman and her companion followed two other women out of the apartment and into a stairwell, police said."
"BPD's release did not indicate who they believe fired the shots, but alleged that either the Vista woman or her companion aimed the gun at one of the victims' heads; that woman pushed the gun away, but the gunwoman took a step back and tried to shoot the victim, missing, but hitting someone else's apartment. The women with the gun then fled, firing at the victims several more times before driving off in a car, according to the statement Friday."
A 23-year-old woman from Vista faces charges from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office related to a Jan. 17 shooting at a South Berkeley apartment complex. Shortly before 2 a.m., she and another woman forced entry into a fourth-floor apartment on Adeline Street; at least one of them was armed. A dispute led the pair to follow two other women into a stairwell. When the victims later returned, the alleged aggressors reappeared in the hallway; one assailant reportedly aimed a gun at a victim's head, missed, and struck another apartment. The gunwomen fled, fired additional shots, and left in a car. Detectives obtained a Jan. 23 arrest warrant for attempted murder, robbery and gun crimes; Oakland police arrested her Monday in an unrelated matter. Prosecutors' charges filed Wednesday omitted attempted murder and robbery. Surveillance footage showed the pairs had met previously.
