Deputies were first alerted to the shooting shortly after 6:30 p.m. after the victims called 911 to report shots fired at their residence, Shasta County Sheriff’s Sgt. Garet Baldwin later said.

Deputies soon learned three adults were at the residence when the shooting happened, but none were injured.

With the assistance from a California Highway Patrol helicopter and Redding police officers, deputies searched the surrounding area for the suspect vehicle, but were unable to locate it.

As their investigation was continuing, deputies located two bullet holes, “one on the exterior of the residence and one in a tree in front of the residence,” explained Baldwin.

Officials did not specify if there was a known motive for the shooting, and the sheriff’s investigation is active and ongoing

Anyone with further information concerning this incident is encouraged to contact Shasta County Sheriff’s Office at (530) 245-6540. Callers can refer to incident file number 19S12925 and can remain anonymous.
