San Francisco man charged in Berkeley shooting spree – The Mercury News


BERKELEY — A San Francisco man suspected of a half-dozen non injury shootings last month that began in a confrontation with some UC Berkeley students has been charged with nine felonies and a misdemeanor, according to authorities and court records.

The suspect, Jeffrey Hue, 45, has been charged with felonies of assault with a firearm, discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, shooting at an unoccupied vehicle, three counts of possession of an assault weapon, possession of a silencer, possession of armor-piercing ammunition and a misdemeanor count of possession of a firearm without identification numbers.

Twelve rifles and pistols were recovered at his home when he was arrested Nov. 7 and police seized more than 15,000 bullets of various calibers, including the armor-piercing rounds.

Berkeley police said that detectives seized 12 handguns and assault rifles, and ammunition when they served warrants at a San Francisco residence and arrested a 45-year-old man who was involved in a half-dozen non-injury shootings Oct. 26. The man has since been charged with 10 crimes in the case. (Berkeley Police Department)

Hue pleaded not guilty to the charges Tuesday. He is free on bail, which in earlier jail records was listed at $480,000.

According to court documents, just after 12 a.m. Oct. 26 Hue and an unnamed friend, who was not arrested, got into a confrontation with four UC Berkeley students in the 2400 block of Telegraph Avenue. Police have not said what the confrontation was about, but according to the documents, Hue allegedly pulled a pistol from his waistband, pointed it at the students and told them to run. As they did, he fired a shot into the air.

The other shootings happened in the 2400 block of Durant Avenue, the 2200 blocks of Bancroft Way and University Avenue, the 2300 block of Fulton Street and the 1100 block of Sutter Street, police said. Police have not said what prompted those shootings.
