Fight Over Woman Sparks Shooting, Crash In Oakland

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

OAKLAND (AP) ― Oakland investigators are blaming a fight over a woman for sparking a wild series of events that began with gunfire and ended in a car crash.

The trouble started when a 25-year-old woman and her 30-year-old boyfriend were driving on 73rd Ave. Tuesday night when they encountered the woman's ex-boyfriend in another car.

Police say the boyfriend fired a gun at the ex-boyfriend.

No one was hit, but that prompted the ex-boyfriend—a 32-year-old San Francisco man—to pursue and ram the new boyfriend's car with his car.
 
That caused a crash with another vehicle, with the woman suffering a fractured skull and other injuries. The driver of the other vehicle was also hurt.

When police arrived, they broke up a fistfight and arrested the new boyfriend and old boyfriend.

Police have not released any names.
