The shots were fired from a black Mercedes Sprinter van heading south near the Lewelling Boulevard offramp on Interstate 880 by the Interstate 238 flyover but neither officer was hit.

Shortly after, CHP officers located and stopped a van matching the description, detaining three males, ages 14, 18 and 20.

Multiple firearms found in the van were taken as evidence.

The driver, identified as Ethan Escobedo, 18, of Los Angeles, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer and shooting at an occupied vehicle.

The CHP Golden Gate Division is investigating the shooting and asks anyone with information to call its tip line at (707) 917-4491.
