Police in the East Bay pursued a suspect Friday afternoon in a shooting through Richmond on I-80 that ended when the suspect vehicle stopped on the highway in Fairfield.
Aerial footage initially captured the vehicle driving through Richmond. Multiple police and CHP units followed the silver sedan driven by an alleged shooting suspect on I-80 eastbound through San Pablo, Hercules, Rodeo and Vallejo, experiencing occasional delays due to traffic.
About 3:45 p.m., the car finally slowed and came to a stop on the highway at the Lopes Road overpass near the Cordelia Junction that connects to I-680 in Fairfield. Apparently authorities were able to lay down spike strips that the suspect drove over.
Authorities stopped both eastbound and westbound traffic on I-80, diverting traffic from the highway to avoid the incident.
There were nine visible police units with open doors and officers with weapons drawn on the highway under the overpass. It appears that the authorities are in conflict with the suspect.
This is a breaking news story. Additional information will be added as it becomes available.
