Security personnel guarding Coast Guard Base Alameda in Oakland, California, were forced to open fire on a U-Haul truck being driven erratically on Thursday night after it attempted to back up a ramp and into the base.
A U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson said the incident took place at approximately 10 p. m. PST after a day of protests outside the island base on the Oakland Estuary and that its law enforcement officers had been forced to act after the driver had failed to respond to shouted instructions to stop.
