2 Arrested After Early Morning Burglary, Police Shooting In San Mateo
SAN MATEO (CBS SF) – Police have released the names of two suspects arrested in a burglary early Wednesday morning in San Mateo where an officer shot at one of the suspects and nearby residents had to shelter in place.
Officers arrested 31-year-old San Bruno resident Maria King on suspicion of burglary and attempted murder after she tried to escape police by allegedly driving her vehicle at an officer.
King allegedly drove her vehicle at the officer at the intersection of West Hillsdale Boulevard and Caxton Court, near where an interrupted burglary was reported at about 2:45 a.m. in the 3100 block of Greenoak Court, San Mateo police spokesman Sgt. Rick Decker said.
The officer opened fire on King as the vehicle approached but missed her. Police took her into custody and no one was injured in the incident.
Officers also arrested 22-year-old Saliq Calloway in San Bruno, but as of noontime had not decided what offenses to ask prosecutors to charge him with in this morning's incident, Decker said.
Calloway was wanted on two warrants.
Residents were ordered to shelter in place but the order was lifted by 7 a.m. when police said there was no longer any danger to the community.
