That’s the shooting victim being given CPR in the background
Our source on the ground at the Occupy Oakland protests sent this video of police and EMTs administering CPR to the victim of a shooting during a protest Saturday afternoon. The shooting happened just before 5 p.m. Thursday on the edge of the plaza outside Oakland City Hill. The Occupy Oakland encampment sits in the middle of the plaza.
The crowd of protesters tried to prevent local news crews from recording the events.
CPR was administered for 15 minutes and the victim was taken to Highland Hospital.
(11-10) 17:43 PST OAKLAND -- A man was shot this evening near the Occupy Oakland encampment outside City Hall, witnesses said.
The man was shot outside the 12th Street BART station on Frank Ogawa Plaza at 14th Street and Broadway about 5 p.m.
Witnesses said four to six shots were fired. Oakland firefighters performed CPR on the victim, who was taken away in an ambulance.
Two longtime Occupy Oakland campers said they did not recognize the victim and that they did not believe the shooting was related to the encampment.
"This was not an internal incident," said one of the campers, 35-year-old Shake Anderson. "What happened was the result of neighborhood violence. Don't forget, we're in downtown Oakland."
Another camper, James Alvey, 45, of San Francisco, said he had seen a group of young men scatter after the shooting.
