Two Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies are recovering after they were hit by an explosion while serving an eviction notice in West Oakland. There was also a body found inside the apartment, but it’s not clear yet if it was that of the tenant.
Two deputies and a locksmith began drilling the lock on the rear apartment of a building when the house at 14th and Peralta suddenly exploded in flames.
“I heard like a little explosion and I thought it was a bomb or whatever, then we saw the smoke coming out,” said witness Miguel Flores.
Neighbor Stacy Hogg added, “It went boom and then all of a sudden you saw police officers running from the house.”
