SAN LEANDRO — An off-duty Oakland police officer was in stable condition at an area hospital after accidentally shooting himself, authorities said.

Police were called just before 9 p.m. Saturday to an apartment in the 400 block of Dolores Avenue for a report of a person shot. When they arrived, a woman at the apartment told them that her boyfriend, an off-duty Oakland police officer, had suffered a single gunshot wound.

The officer remained alert and able to respond while he received first aid, from the arriving officers and then from paramedics. He was taken to a hospital for treatment, where he was in stable condition Monday but was expected to be released soon.

San Leandro police Lt. Issac Benabou said the officer was in the Chili’s parking lot of Bayfair Mall when the shooting happened. The officer, who suffered a wound that was “more than a graze, but not life-threatening,” then got in his car and drove 2.5 miles to his apartment, where his girlfriend immediately called 911, Benabou said.

Anyone with information is asked to call San Leandro police at 510-577-3315.

The shooting was the second shooting involving a law enforcement officer at an East Bay mall over the weekend. On Sunday, a state corrections worker dropped and accidentally discharged their gun at a mall in Concord, but no one was injured.
