The 19-year old victim and his girlfriend (also 19-years old) told BPD that they were driving south on West Frontage Road from University Avenue and had stopped at the stop sign located at the entrance to Ashby Avenue when an unknown vehicle pulled up along the right passenger side and fired multiple rounds into their vehicle.  The victim was seated in the right front passenger seat and was struck multiple times in his right leg.  The driver was not hit during the shooting and she immediately drove to a local hospital where on duty Alameda County Sheriff’s Deputies learned of the incident and contacted BPD.  The victim’s injuries do not appear to be life threatening.
