Police Shootings Shut Lanes on I-880 Oakland, Hwy 101 San Francisco

Police activity led to the shutdown of major highways in the Bay Area on Thursday due to two separate shooting incidents. In Oakland, all southbound lanes of Interstate 880 near Fruitvale Avenue were closed while officers investigated a white two-door Honda with multiple holes, including one that resembled a bullet hole, though police have not confirmed the details. Meanwhile, in San Francisco, several northbound lanes of Highway 101 near Cesar Chavez Street were closed following an officer-involved shooting reported around 11:30 a.m. The victim was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, and authorities urged drivers to use alternate routes such as Interstate 280. Both the California Highway Patrol and local police advised the public to avoid the affected areas as investigations continue, but further details about the incidents remain undisclosed. These closures caused significant traffic disruptions, and officials did not provide timelines for reopening the highways.
