6:01 am
struck with the pepper spray as well during that. ten minutes later, a witness tells me, after they used the pepper spray, the man went back inside the house, they tried to approach him again, and that's when there was some sort of struggle. minutes after that, a person told me that the individual -- shots were fired. that person, he said he saw them taking him away in an ambulance and as of right now, police are still on the scene. no word on the suspect, why they were trying to arrest this man in the beginning, and no word on how those officers are doing, but police are still here on scene, and we are at the top of this hill where you can see the police cars down at the bottom. on capitol avenue-ye, we're liv here. we do want to get back to our other breaking news this morning. a dangerous fire breaking out in oakland. >> amy hollyfield is live on the

6:03 am
scene here on harrison street found an apartment on the first floor fully engulfed. the fire extended to the second and third floor. >> reporter: that call actually came in at 4:12 this morning. here's a live look now at the situation. the building was safely evacuated. firefighters did help people, went door to door, made sure everyone was awake, and evacuated, got them down the stairs safely but most people self-evacuated okay, but now the aftermath of trying to recover things, if possible, but six units damaged, 14 people trying to figure out now where to go, and firefighters now trying to figure out the official cause, but it did come in as a blanket that had been ignited by a wall furnace. it's very cold, so obviously everyone all bundled up and have those furnaces, space heaters going. reporting live in oakland, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. well, have you checked your car this morning? some drivers will have to get to
