Authorities are on the hunt for the man responsible for a late-morning shooting Tuesday at San Pablo Park in Berkeley that left a young man in the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds.

The Berkeley Police Department received several reports of gunshots fired in the area at 11:08 a.m., said Officer Byron White, a Berkeley Police Department spokesman.

Officers, upon arrival to the location, found a man believed to be in his early twenties with multiple gunshot wounds outside of the park’s bathrooms, White said.

The man was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

White was unsure of the man’s condition as of early Tuesday afternoon.

Witnesses in the area described the shooter as a light-skinned male, in his 20s, about 6-foot-tall, wearing a cream-colored shirt and baggy jeans, White said.

Officers weren’t aware of any other details regarding the incident and said the investigation is ongoing.

“We are talking to neighbors and witnesses to try to determine what has happened,” White said.

“I wouldn’t say something like this is common in this area,” he said. “We’ve had shootings here in the past, but it’s not a common occurrence.”

Anyone with information about the incident can contact the Berkeley Police Department at (510) 981-5900.
