Sacramento sheriff’s deputies avoid injury when shots fired at them in ‘random’ shooting
Sheriff’s deputies escaped injury Wednesday night when gunshots were reportedly fired in the direction of their patrol vehicle in south Sacramento.
The shooting occurred about 9:40 p.m. in the area of 65th Street and Florin Road. The deputies were responding to an unrelated call for help when shots were fired in their direction, said Lt. Rodney Grassmann, a Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.
Grassmann said the deputies were driving in a patrol vehicle “when the bullets whizzed by” in what he called ”a random sort of incident.” Nobody was struck by gunfire, and no injuries were reported.
Grassmann said investigators did not have any suspect description to release. The shooting remained under investigation Thursday afternoon.
