Palo Alto police are looking for a man who allegedly robbed and shot another man outside Palo Alto City Hall about 1:45 a.m. today.
Authorities said the victim is in his mid-20s and is in grave condition at Stanford Medical Center.

According to police, the victim and a few friends were parked in a car on the 600 block of Bryant Street waiting to pick up another friend after an evening of revelry at downtown bars.

The assailant then allegedly robbed the victim, who was standing outside the car, of some personal items and then shot him before fleeing the scene.

City hall is also home to the police department.

Authorities described that alleged shooter as a Pacific Islander, about 21 years old, wearing a black beanie cap, dark gloves and a black-hooded sweatshirt.

Police agent Dan Ryan said officials are reviewing surveillance footage from a nearby city parking garage to help with their investigation.

Anyone with information may call the police department at (650) 329-2413.

More information to issue CCWs.

If he'd had a CCW, he would've needed to leave it at home since he was on an "evening of revelry."
