OAKLAND, Calif. - An Oakland man was arrested after being accused of firing several shots from an assault rifle near the Oakland Zoo.
Police said they were called to a report of shots fired about 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday.
No injuries were reported but police went to a home on the 3000 block of Broadmoor View and seized at least 20 ghost guns.
They also found ammunition, a Taser and a 3-D printer.
They arrested the man, who they say was wearing body armor at the time, on various firearm-related charges as well as for negligently discharging a gun.
A bullet casing was found in his driveway.
Police thanked neighbors for calling in reports of gunfire.
Last year, Oakland police recovered nearly 1,400 firearms, of which, nearly 25% were ghost guns.
