Halloween night shootings reported in Rocklin, Elk Grove

By Hudson Sangree

Police in Rocklin and Elk Grove are investigating separate non-fatal shootings on Halloween night.

In Rocklin, police say a suspect fired into a crowd and struck a victim in the leg at a Halloween party.

The shooting occurred in the 3900 block of Rawhide Road about 11:14 p.m., Rocklin police said in a news release.

Witnesses said several people showed up at the party uninvited, and a fight broke out when they were asked to leave, police reported.

One of them fired a single shot into the crowd with a small-caliber handgun, striking the victim in the upper right leg, according to the news release.

The victim was taken to Sutter Roseville Hospital and was in stable condition, police said.

The suspects fled. No arrests have been made, and the investigation continues.

In Elk Grove, there was a shooting in the 9200 block of Elk Grove Boulevard about 9:30 p.m., police said.

During an argument in front of an apartment building, one man pulled out a handgun and shot the other in the leg, said Sgt. Eric White.

The 24-year-old victim was taken to Kaiser Permanente South Sacramento Medical Center, where he underwent surgery and is expected to survive, White said.

No suspects have been arrested, White said. The investigation is ongoing.

Here are some rules of the road:

• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "report abuse" button to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.

• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.

• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.

• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand. If you want to discuss an issue with a specific user, click on his profile name and send him a direct message.

• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.

• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.

• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.

• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.

Q: Does the Sacramento Police Web site provide a timely listing of all crime reports? I would like to know the specific location (or at least the street name) of the recent rash residential burglaries reported in my neighborhood.

A: You can find daily reports from Sacramento police officers at this site (this is not every call for service but it is the closest to what you want. The freshest information is about 24 hours old):
