I suspect the hand sanitizer story is a fake. Even two days later, I could only find one followup but the source links don't resolve. Click at your own risk, it's a sketchy site with a fake virus alert. The most complete story is near the bottom, where it says the situation was resolved peacefully with no injuries, police impounded the bottle of sanitizer as evidence, and there's a lot of needlessly wordy worthless speculation. It takes pains to reassure the public which has no doubt entered a high state anxiety as a result of this chaotic event. https://countylocalnews.com/2024/07/29/armed-suspect-hand-sanitizer-weapon-police-respond-to-armed-suspect-with-hand-sanitizer-in-oakland/
