(02-06) 16:26 PST - Oakland, CA -- An alleged gang member - released from federal prison weeks ago - and his getaway driver have been arrested for shooting at police officers in North Oakland, authorities said today.

Benny Ray Martin, 31, fired shots at a car near 58th and Genoa streets and then unleashed more gunfire at two police officers responding to the area at about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, said Officer Holly Joshi, an Oakland police spokeswoman.

The officers' car was hit, but they weren't injured and did not fire back, Joshi said.
