Pregnant Powerhouse Dodges Fate on Oakland Streets: Baby On Board and Bullets Too?! ๐คฐ๐ฅ
TL;DR: Nine-months-pregnant woman is shot while cruising through East Oakland, but both mom and baby seem to be doing okay! What’s the backstory? ๐ค๐๐จ
It was just another evening drive through East Oakland when it turned to a chapter straight out of an urban novel. A 25-year-old woman, who’s basically on the brink of welcoming a new life into this wild world, gets caught in a hail of bullets. Crazy, right? ๐๐
But why? She wasnโt jamming out solo – she had company. Riding shotgun in the vehicle, which was smoothly sailing down 77th Avenue, our pregnant heroine was suddenly thrust into the midst of a drive-by shooting just as they were about to turn onto International Boulevard around 9:25 p.m. Word has it, there were three suspects, just chilling on the corner, when they decided to play real-life Grand Theft Auto. Were they bored or did they have a reason? ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ฎ
The car’s stereo wasnโt the only thing making noise that night, the gunfire was loud enough to activate a local gunshot detection system. And though the vehicle had more than one soul, she was the only one to catch a bullet. But hereโs the silver lining, folks – she was shot in the chest, but both she and her unborn baby are reported to be stable. Talk about guardian angels working overtime! ๐๐ผ
Now hereโs where things get a bit spicy. The driver, proving to be quite the ride or die, didn’t wait for an Uber or a Lyft; they rushed her straight to 73rd Avenue and International Boulevard, where the cops were informed, and our protagonist got the medical help she needed. Kudos to the driver for thinking fast on their feet! ๐๐จ
Evidence on the scene? Oh, there was plenty. The streets got littered with numerous shell casings, kinda like the aftermath of a New Year’s Eve party, only way less festive. ๐๐ซ
And the million-dollar question โ what could be the reason behind this ghastly act? Oakland’s finest are digging deep, speculating that the duo in the vehicle were the intended targets. Motive? Still up in the air, kinda like that drone you got for Christmas and couldnโt control. ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ๐
No sketches of the trigger-happy culprits have been released yet, and the cops are keeping their cards close to their vests. However, there’s a chunky reward on the table – $10,000 for any info leading to the arrest of the gun-toting trio. Got some tea to spill? Hit up the cops or Crime Stoppers.
So here we are, left wondering: Is Oakland becoming the real-life version of a shoot ’em up video game? ๐ฎ๐ฅ And the real question, which will leave you pondering over your morning coffee: In a world filled with uncertainties and dangers, how can we ensure that every mother-to-be has a safe journey, not just in pregnancy, but in life? ๐คฑ๐๐ซ
