The following is my recollection of Corrales’ account:

There was a disturbed man wandering around the area with a knife. Police shot him with some unspecified less-than-lethal weapon, to no effect, and then pepper-sprayed him, also to no effect. They finally restrained him by brute force, resulting in unspecified injuries to three officers.

Apparently, when the man was identified it turned out that both he and his father had missing-persons reports on them. Oakland PD searched an address associated with the two and found that his father had been murdered, probably by the son.

They walked nearly all the way up to the Clinton Park alley when approx. 20 cop cars pulled up and it was all over. I was surprised as well to find no information about the incident the next day, but I guess that is the city we live in. It isn’t the first time I have seen something like this outside my bedroom window. Still, it was a slightly surreal scene.
