The search is intensifying for the individual behind the attack on a Hillsborough police officer after a shooting incident occurred last Saturday. The Hillsborough Police Department is now actively seeking assistance to gather additional evidence. They are requesting dash camera footage from motorists traveling on El Camino Real between Oak Grove Avenue and Belleville Avenue, particularly between 3:30 PM and 4:15 PM, as reported by the Hillsborough Police Department.
Detectives from the Hillsborough Police Department, reinforced by allied agencies, have been diligently working to track down leads since the incident unfolded. Authorities have reached out to a person of interest in South San Francisco. According to a follow-up press release by the Hillsborough Police Department, the suspect remains at large and is believed to have deliberately targeted officers. The injured officer, who survived the ordeal, continues to recover, while the department maintains a stoic silence on further details regarding the suspect.
The initial event that sparked the ongoing investigation took place at the rear parking lot of the Hillsborough Police Department, where an officer was abruptly fired upon. The officer returned fire before the assailant managed to elude capture on foot. The Hillsborough Police Department revealed, as noted by Hoodline that the wounded officer was swiftly taken to San Francisco General Hospital and is slated for a full recovery. The manhunt involves local enforcement officials, who are methodically combing the surrounding vicinities and following up on all active leads pursuing the fugitive.
The Hillsborough Police Department, while appreciative of the public's support, has implored anyone with potentially valuable dash cam footage to step forward. Motorists with information are urged to contact Sergeant Jose Ortiz promptly at (650) 375-7561 or via email at [email protected].
