Around 10:15 p.m. officers interrupted an attempted burglary and robbery of a cannabis grow inside a building. The burglary was one of several officers responded to, as a group police described as a "caravan of armed robbers" robbed or attempted to rob several marijuana businesses, and broke into other cannabis stores and businesses throughout Oakland. Officers tried to stop several people, but some fled on foot or in vehicles, police said. One Oakland officer shot and killed the 20-year-old man.
