Agency spokesperson James Allison told KCBS Radio in an emailed statement on Monday afternoon that an "investigation is active and ongoing" following Saturday's alleged shooting. BART police are investigating the incident as assault with a deadly weapon, instrument or firearm, according to the agency's police log.
Officers responded to the West Oakland station at 1:08 p.m. on Saturday following reports of a disturbance aboard a train. As officers were on the scene, more callers told BART police they saw two people fighting and heard gunshots.
According to the police log, officers found a man who had sustained minor injuries. Allison told the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday the man had been "shot or grazed" by a bullet, and he was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The second person in the fight fled before officers arrived, and the police log provided no identifying information about them.
When asked for an update on the victim's condition, Allison said only that the investigation remains active and pointed to BART's police log. The Oakland Police Department didn't respond to KCBS Radio's request for comment prior to publication on Monday afternoon.
Saturday's shooting was the second in four days on a major Bay Area transit line. One person died and another was injured in a shooting aboard a San Francisco Muni train last Wednesday, and police arrested a suspect in Pittsburg two days later. Security footage the Chronicle obtained showed the man who was killed attacking another man with a knife before the other man shot him.
