SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A gunman was holed inside a northern California hotel early Thursday with police surrounding his room, but a portion of a busy freeway that was shut down because of gunfire reopened, authorities said.
A gunshot rang out Wednesday morning, prompting police to briefly stop traffic on a section of Interstate 580 that includes the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. The bridge reopened shortly after noon along with eastbound lanes of the freeway.
