OAKLAND — A man was wounded by a stray bullet in the Old Oakland district Sunday morning and is in stable condition at a hospital where he was being treated for a wound to his lower leg, authorities said.

The victim’s age and residence were not immediately available.

The shooting happened about 1:40 a.m. Sunday, near the intersection of Eighth and Washington streets, a block from police headquarters. Police said initial reports were that some other men had been in a physical confrontation that resulted in a struggle over a gun that went off. The errant bullet struck a man who was not involved in the confrontation.

What the men were arguing about is under investigation. No arrests have been announced.

The shooting comes just over a week after two men were killed and four others injured in shootings that happened between 2:20 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. Sept.  5 in different parts of the Uptown district.
