Attempted Robbery of a TV Crew in Oakland While Reporting About Smash n’ Grabs

Deadline-

An unnamed security guard and an unidentified Berkeley man were shot in Oakland on Wednesday, as a TV crew for KRON4 was targeted for robbery while filming, the Bay Area news station reports.

Ironically, the crew found itself targeted by armed robbers while reporting on another in a string of smash-and-grab thefts at Oakland clothing store Prime 356. Police say the criminals were after their camera equipment, with shots fired around 12:20 p.m. on November 24.

The crew’s security guard—a former police officer—is reportedly in stable condition after being shot in the lower abdomen and taken to Highland Hospital for surgery. The second victim caught up in the incident was also transported to Highland Hospital for treatment, and is likewise reported to be in stable condition. Ultimately, the attempted robbery proved unsuccessful.
