From David Richie:
At least three shots were fired during a Saturday night melee in the 5200 block of Verner Avenue in Foothill Farms, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department reports.
According to authorities, a 25-year-old man was confronted about 8 p.m. by at least 12 people. The verbal argument escalated when the man was pistol-whipped by a man who pulled a black semi-automatic handgun, officials report. At that point the 25-year-old's father drove into the scene and shots were fired at his vehicle, authorities said.
The attacker and others involved in the fracas jumped into cars and fled as deputies arrived.
