The reports — all of which resulted in arrests — run the gamut. - A man pointed a "musket" at people in a crowded block near UC Berkeley - The seizure of suspected drugs and a loaded handgun during a traffic stop - A car thief, caught red-handed, with a stolen gun in his waistband - A convicted killer found with a ghost gun after a shoplifting report - And a new gun case stemming from an old Berkeley warrant You won't find this exclusive reporting anywhere else.
