City pays victims of police barrage
July 22, 2008
The city of Oakland will pay $975,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a man and a woman who were hit by stray bullets when police officers fired on a suspect at a car wash.
William Caldwell and Leona Savoy were wounded in 2006 when three officers fired 26 rounds at a suspect during an undercover drug operation at a self-service car wash.
Authorities say the officers had fired their weapons as police tried to arrest Patrick Nickerson after he had opened fire at a car.
Several shots hit Nickerson, but others shattered the femurs of both Caldwell, then 67 years old, and Savoy, then 31, as they were cleaning their cars.
