Authorities believe the shooting may be linked to a June 6 shooting and bombing involving [[Santa Cruz County, California|Santa Cruz County]] Sheriff's Department officers in [[Ben Lomond, California]], which killed one officer and wounded two others. A 32-year-old suspect, an [[United States Air Force|Air Force]] sergeant who was armed with a rifle and [[improvised explosive device]]s, was wounded and arrested in connection with that attack.<ref name="SFC0607>{{cite web|url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Air-Force-sergeant-arrested-in-ambush-of-Santa-15323113.php|title=Air Force sergeant arrested in ambush of Santa Cruz deputy; link to Oakland shooting eyed|publisher=[[San Francisco Chronicle]]|date=June 7, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://abcnews.go.com/US/northern-california-sheriffs-deputy-killed-ambush-shooting-bombing/story?id=71119099|title=FBI probes possible link between Air Force sergeant suspected in ambush killing of CA deputy and officer's murder|publisher=ABC News|date=June 7, 2020|accessdate=June 7, 2020}}</ref> |

== Responses == |
|||
[[Ken Cuccinelli]], deputy secretary of Homeland Security, suggested the attack was possibly part of a pattern and that the department is aware of threats against other police stations and federal buildings and said that “When someone targets a police officer or a police station with an intention to do harm and intimidate, that is an act of domestic terrorism".<ref>[https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Federal-security-guard-killed-in-Oakland-15306674.php Federal security guard killed in Oakland identified as Pinole man]</ref> |
|||
Governor [[Gavin Newsom]] expressed condolences to Underwood's family and highlighted the pain in the state and nation, but warned that no one should rush to connect the attack on the officers with the protests that night.<ref name=":1" /> |
|||
Underwood's sister, Angela Underwood Jacobs, a Republican candidate filling a vacant district in California, issued a statement that highlighted the work her brother had done and called for the violence seen in the protests to stop.<ref name=":0" /> |
