As of 12:54 p.m. deputies are searching for two to three suspects who were believed to be involved in the shooting.
Early indications are that the shooting was done intentionally and not an accident or the result of misuse.
Fire officials confirmed they were called to the scene but no medical transport was necessary.
A nearby resident reported hearing the gunshots, two or three, around noon, that appeared to come from a truck outside her home.
” I heard a truck drive around a few times pressing the gas and heard 2-3 shots fired,” said Amanda Salazar, a resident who lives not far from where the shooting took place.
Witnesses also reported seeing a black truck and two males being investigated shortly after the shooting.
Sheriff’s Station officials are still investigating the situation and have not yet confirmed whether any suspects are being detained or in custody.
My old complex. So glad my family and I moved from that place back in 2012. It’s so unsafe there. There was always helicopters circling the complex due to burglaries, shootings, you name it.
