Telegraph Avenue was closed while police investigated the shooting. Multiple shell casings were recovered at the scene.
Around midnight, as investigators were probing the Telegraph Avenue shooting scene and two officers assigned to traffic control were sitting inside a marked police SUV, a suspected drunk driver struck the police vehicle broadside. The two officers were taken to a hospital, treated for injuries and released. The suspected drunk driver was placed under arrest.
The second shooting was reported at 8:30 p.m. in the 2200 block of East 20th Street. The victim, a 48-year-old woman, was pronounced dead at the scene. Additional details were not immediately available.
The deaths marked the 88th, 89th and 90th homicides of the year Oakland police have investigated. The California Highway Patrol has also investigated four homicides on freeways in the city. By this time last year, OPD had investigated 100 homicides.
The identities of the victims are being held withheld pending notification to their next of kin.
Three other shootings Monday night and early Tuesday morning along International Boulevard left a teen girl in grave condition and wounded two other people.
