OAKLAND, Calif. - A federal law enforcement officer in California was shot and killed and another wounded while providing security at the U.S.
courthouse in Oakland amid one of the increasingly violent protests unfolding around the country. “When someone targets a police officer or a police station with an intention to do harm and intimidate — that is an act of domestic terrorism,” Department of Homeland Security Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said at a Washington, D.C., news conference Saturday.
The Oakland shooting occurred after a vehicle pulled up outside the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building at about 9:45 p.m. Friday.
