campbell. breaking news out of san leandro where police are investigating a shooting at bayfair mall. ken wayne is live at the scene. ken, what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, this is still a very active crime scene. you can see behind me police officers have taped off the entrance to the east side of the mall. this is next to the fresh choice and one of the macy's entrances to bayfair mall. this all started within the past hour with some kind of altercation between two groups inside the mall that spilled out into the parking lot. two men confronted two other men, gunshots were fired, and two victims started running. we understand one victim was shot in the leg. we talked to some people who were outside of the mall, heard the gunshots. we talked to a very young shopper. here's what she described happened. >> we've seen the two victims one was dark skinned and the light skinned one, he ran over here and then he -- he ran like dashing through here. he got shot. he was yelling help, help, i

got shot. i got shot. and then he was on the phone, the other guy, he came running back for his friend. he was trying to get help. and he was lifted into a car and. >> all we know now, is we have one subject who was shot in the leg. he was taken to a local hospital. it does not appear to be life- threatening. we have a black male shooter. we're thinking from the description possibly in early, late teens, early 20s, about -- i believe 5'10", about 140, 150 pounds, wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. >> reporter: police want to emphasize this appears to be some kind of targeted shooting. this was not some kind of a mall rampage where a gunman was just going after people inside the mall. there was some kind of a dispute that spilled out in the parking lot. the victim was taken to a local

hospital. non-life-threatening injuries. police are trying to interview that person to find out if they can identify who the gunman is. the gunman was another black man and two white women and police are looking for those four people to determine their involvement in this shooting and the mall is open except for this part of the corner of the shopping center which is closed while police try to gather evidence and try to learn more. we also understand the b.a.r.t. station here next to bayfair mall was temporarily closed, trains were stopped for a brief period of time but we understand the b.a.r.t. station is open again. so, again, b.a.r.t. is running. the mall is open. but the police are continuing to search for the gunmen involved in the shooting. ken wayne, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you, ken. well, the city of oakland is getting a big financial boost to help fight crime there. alex savidge lz is live to explain what the city will be doing with a $2 million grant. >> reporter: brian, good

afternoon. the money will go mainly to fund crime prevention programs and efforts to keep young people out of prison. the city qualified for this grant from the state mainly because of the struggle to control violent crime here in this city. the state assemblywoman from the east bay was instrumental in securing the money and this morning she stood side by side with mayor jean quan and assemblyman bonta. part of this money will keep felons from returning to prison. the city will use the grant to fund job placement and re-entry programs for those who have been recently released from prison. >> to identify existing programs with proven track records, that so would can direct this money right away and begin to further the results that oakland has been showing. >> reporter: and in oakland, violent crime numbers are falling. so far this year, with

homicides, down 21% compared with this time last year and robberies down 40%. city leaders say one program that is having an impact is cease fire, when known gang members cut a deal with police to put down their guns in order to avoid prison time. that program will be getting a finance am boost under this grant. the money will also help in solving violent crimes as well. the police chief said that he's planning to pay for two new technicians who can help trace guns and look for links between cases. >> and when we're able to link the crimes together, we're able to get at that small group of core individuals responsible for so much of the gun violence that happens on our streets. >> reporter: and while this is a one-time grant, state lawmakers say there are other funds out there that oakland may be to tap into in the future to fund similar crime prevention programs. we're live this afternoon in oakland, alex savidge, ktvu
