Police arrested a San Francisco man Thursday in connection with a string of shootings in the south campus area of the University of California, Berkeley in October.
The 45-year-old man was arrested at a San Francisco home, where officers reportedly found several handguns, assault rifles and ammunition, police said.
The man, who has not yet been identified, is suspected of “a series of gunfire incidents” at about 12:20 a.m. on Oct. 26, but police did not say there were any injuries.
