OAKLAND (CBS SF) - A man is being treated at a hospital for life-threatening injuries after being shot during an apparent home-invasion robbery in East Oakland this morning, according to police.
Sgt. Chris Bolton said officers responded to a report of a shooting at a home in the 1700 block of 79th Avenue, near Lockwood Street, at about 9:50 a.m.
They found the man suffering from a gunshot wound and were told by witnesses that he was shot during the commission of a home-invasion robbery, Bolton said.
