Gunfire near East Palo Alto school leaves one wounded, suspects flee in car chase
A 51-year-old East Palo Alto resident sustained a non-life-threatening gunshot wound after shots were fired early Saturday morning near KIPP Esperanza High School, paloaltoonline.com reports.
A ShotSpotter acoustic detection system picked up the gunfire shortly before 6 a.m. in the 900 block of Garden Street. Two parked vehicles and an occupied residence were also struck by bullets, according to police, who disclosed details via social media.
Officers responding to the scene observed multiple vehicles leaving the area. One of those vehicles reversed at high speed into a parked car before striking a police cruiser as it attempted to flee. Officers pursued the vehicle to the 2100 block of Pulgas Avenue, where it collided with several parked vehicles and became immobilised. The occupants abandoned the car and fled on foot, leaving a firearm behind.
Three suspects were subsequently arrested: two teenagers from Hollister, aged 15 and 17, and 22-year-old Hayden Hernandez of Los Banos. San Mateo County Juvenile Hall declined to accept the two minors for booking, and both were released to their guardians. Hernandez was booked into San Mateo County Jail on multiple felony charges.
The investigation remains ongoing. Police are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Ng at 650-853-3160 or [email protected].
