2 Bystanders Shot by Police Fi

A man and a woman wounded when Oakland police officers fired on a suspect at a carwash are suing the officers and the city.

The $10 million civil rights suit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court, said William Caldwell, 67, and Leona Savoy, 31, were injured on March 11 when three officers fired 26 rounds "a la Hollywood action movie-style," without giving "adequate consideration to the obvious danger (posed by) their rash decision."

The shooting happened at a carwash on the 10300 block of MacArthur Boulevard as officers tried to arrest Patrick Nickerson after he fired at a car, authorities said. Bullets fired from the officers' guns shattered the femurs of both Caldwell and Savoy, both of whom were cleaning cars, the suit said.

Oakland city officials said they hadn't seen the suit and couldn't comment.
