Armed Robbery On Campus Last Night
There are filtered reports of a shooting on the UC Berkeley campus. At the moment it seems that this is an isolated incident, but the campus is on lockdown.
Official report of the event is documented here.
EDIT, 11:42 PM: Reports are beginning to filter in. From The Daily Cal…
A police manhunt on the north side of campus for suspects connected to an armed robbery ended in arrests of two juveniles late tonight.
Both UC and Berkeley police responded to reports of an armed robbery that took place around 10 p.m. near Haviland Hall. UCPD Lt. Douglas Wing said an officer identified two people who matched the description the victim gave to police.
Despite reports circulating among some students, UCPD Officer S. Salas said there were no shots fired.
Wing said that officers were able to recover most of the victim’s belongings, which included a backpack and its contents, as well as a BB gun that police suspect belong to one of the suspects.
Police arrested one of the suspects by Cory Hall, Wing said. The other suspect escaped, but was apprehended at the intersection of Gayley Road and University Drive across from the Greek Theatre.
So at the moment, it seems like no one has been hurt. This has been the latest in a series of armed robberies that have occurred on campus the past few days, including FOUR earlier today. Pretty serious stuff. Police advice you to stay away from the Northside of campus. Not sure if lockdown is still in place, although with the suspects apprehended I would figure that it’ll be lifted for the library soon enough.
(Heh, Northside. Great. And I stayed up here because it felt safer. I’m a moron.)
Edit: Ok…now it’s possible shooting (EDIT: As far as the UCPD concerned, no it’s not).

Not sure why these idiots went UPHILL…
Seems everything is back to normal. Taser anyone?
