Woman struck by gunfire not intended target in shooting, Sacramento police say
Detectives on Thursday were seeking information about a shooting Wednesday in Sacramento that seriously injured a woman who did not appear to be the intended target.
Shortly before 4 p.m. Wednesday police officers were called to a report of shots fired the 4000 block of Broadway in Sacramento’s Oak Park neighborhood.
The officers arrived at the scene and found the woman struck by gunfire. She suffered a life-threatening gunshot wound, according to a news release from the Sacramento Police Department. She’s listed in critical condition, police officials said Thursday afternoon.
Officials said information in the investigation was “extremely limited,” but detectives believe the woman was not the intended target.
The Broadway shooting was the third shooting Wednesday in the Sacramento area that resulted in injuries.

On Saturday evening, four people were injured and another was killed in shooting at a house party on Gardendale Road in the Meadowview area, according to Sacramento police.
