The Oakland
Police Department supervisor, who was not injured, was
responding to a call at about 9:30 p.m. local time on Saturday,
the department said in a statement.
"Shortly after the (traffic) collision, a male suspect
approached the supervisor’s vehicle and fired a round striking
the patrol vehicle," the department said.
The officer was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. Police
are searching for the shooting suspect.
The incident came hours after the burial of one of three Baton
Rouge police officers fatally shot by a black former Marine from
Kansas City, Missouri, who police say intended to kill as many
officers as possible in retaliation for police violence against
black men.
The shootings were the latest in a series that have sparked
debate over policing and minorities in the United States.
