"An SFPD officer assigned to Oakland was nearly killed on the job Tuesday, in an eventful car chase that featured a murder attempt, a wrong-way chase on I-580, and Oakland Police opening fire for reasons even they can't explain. A San Francisco Police Department officer can occasionally be assigned to work in Oakland. One SFPD officer had such duty Tuesday, with SFPD's Community Violence Reduction Team."
"And that officer was almost killed by a vehicle driven by a wanted SF criminal, in a story full of puzzling and bizarre chapters. But the long and the short of it is that the suspect is charged for trying to murder an SFPD officer with his car, as KTVU reports. (He did manage to hit and slightly injure the officer)."
A wanted San Francisco suspect drove a vehicle that struck and slightly injured a San Francisco Police Department officer assigned to Oakland during a patrol with the Community Violence Reduction Team. The driver, identified as 26-year-old Joseph Willis II, faces attempted murder of a peace officer and multiple additional charges. Oakland Police joined a multi-car pursuit and helicopter tracking that included a wrong-way chase on I-580. Oakland Police discharged firearms during the incident, and the department posted that the officer firearm discharge is under investigation. The SFPD officer was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
