California Highway Patrol officers in Hayward’s office came under fire early Monday morning during a car chase for suspected speeding.
CHP officers attempted to stop a gray 2020 Honda Civic about 12:20 p.m. for allegedly speeding on northbound Interstate Highway 880, north of Hayward’s A Street, which turns into unincorporated Alameda County.
The driver of the Honda reportedly refused to stop and led officers on a chase, while a passenger reportedly fired gunshots at officers on at least three occasions, according to a CHP news release later Monday.
Officers created distance due to concerns about the safety of officers and the public, eventually losing sight of the vehicle in Oakland. It was later found abandoned in the city.
No one was injured.
The alleged shooting is under investigation by the CHP. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the CHP’s Hayward office (510) 489-1500.
