BERKELEY – A female UC Berkeley student was shot by Orbeez-like objects while walking along Bancroft Way early Saturday morning, the UC Berkeley Police Department said.
The student was walking alone on Bancroft Way near Bowditch Street at 12:48 a.m. when an unknown person sitting in the passenger seat of a black Nissan SUV allegedly fired at her with an unknown weapon and drove off, police said Saturday.
The student was hit at least once but was shot about three times before he quickly reported the incident to the police. No witnesses were in the area and no other similar reports have been made since then, according to officials.
Officials urged residents to be aware of their surroundings. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call (510) 642-6760.
