One person is dead and another wounded after a shooting at the Bay Fair BART station in San Leandro Saturday afternoon.
Quick thinking by a local cab driver may have helped BART police quickly take a man into custody for the shootings. What we know now is a 40-year-old man is dead and a woman is hospitalized.
A man who did not want to be identified told ABC7 News he was standing nearby when gunshots rang out. He described the fear he felt when the shooting happened near him, "I tried to run myself. I thought somebody was mad and had a machine gun or something because I heard tak, tak, tak tak. I tried to run myself and hide because everybody was running."

The area in question is next door to Oakland Airport across the Bay from San Franciso.
