BOTH SIDES. SACTOWN DEPUTIES ARE NOW SEARCHING FOR THE GUNMAN WHO CRITICALLY INJURED SOMEBODY. THIS IS HAPPENING IN A SOUTH SACRAMENTO NEIGHBORHOOD OFF OF 39TH STREET, NORTH OF 39TH AVENUE. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS THE PERSON WAS SHOT SEVERAL TIMES. KCRA 3’S CAROLINA ESTRADA JOINS US LIVE NOW FROM THAT AREA. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO LEARN? RILEY EDIE. WE KNOW THE MAN THAT WAS SHOT RIGHT NOW IS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE AT THE HOSPITAL. HE’S IN CRITICAL CONDITION. ACCORDING TO WHAT DEPUTIES TELL US OUT HERE IN SOUTH SACRAMENTO, WE ARE RIGHT NOW ON 39TH STREET AND MASCOT AVENUE. THIS IS WHERE IT ALL UNFOLDED, WHERE THE SHOOTING HAPPENED AND HAS NOW TURNED INTO A CRIME SCENE. LET ME GIVE YOU A LOOK AT WHAT WE’RE SEEING OUT HERE. FIRST, I WANT TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THAT TREE THAT YOU SEE THERE, WHERE THE DEPUTIES ARE ALL SURROUNDED. THAT’S THE AREA WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN FOCUSING THEIR INVESTIGATION. THAT’S BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE THE MAN WAS WALKING MINUTES BEFORE HE WAS SHOT. THAT’S WHERE THAT SHOOTING TOOK PLACE. DEPUTIES TELL US THEY HAVE FOUND SEVERAL SHELL CASINGS HERE IN THE AREA. ACTUALLY, IF YOU TAKE A LOOK OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HERE, YOU CAN SEE SOME GREEN MARKERS THERE ON THE GROUND. THOSE ARE MARKING WHERE THE SHELL CASINGS HAVE BEEN FOUND SO FAR. SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES TELL US THEY FOUND AT LEAST A DOZEN SHELL CASINGS. NOW, WHAT DO WE KNOW EXACTLY ABOUT WHAT UNFOLDED OUT HERE TODAY? SO WE KNOW SEVERAL CALLS CAME IN AT AROUND 430 FROM NEIGHBORS REPORTING SOUNDS OF A SHOOTING. AND THEY WHEN DEPUTIES ARRIVED, THEY FOUND A MAN WITH SEVERAL GUNSHOT WOUNDS TO THE ARM AND THE TORSO AREA. THAT’S WHEN HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. HOWEVER, SACRAMENTO COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES TELL US THEY WEREN’T ABLE TO TALK TO THE MAN BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE HE WAS UNCONSCIOUS. NOW THEY’RE OUT HERE GATHERING EVIDENCE, PHOTOGRAPHING THE SCENE, TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER EXACTLY WHAT UNFOLDED. WE SPOKE TO SOME NEIGHBORS THAT ARE OUT HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE, IT’S A VERY RESIDENTIAL AREA. THEY TELL US THEY HEARD AT LEAST THREE GUNSHOTS FIRED, AND THAT’S WHEN THEY CALLED 911. NOW IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS MAN LIVES IN THIS AREA, BUT THEY ARE TALKING TO WITNESSES THAT WERE HERE AT THE TIME WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENED, TRYING TO PIECE TOGETHER EXACTLY WHAT UNFOLDED RIGHT NOW. BUT AGAIN, WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT MAN RIGHT NOW AT THE HOSPITAL, FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE IN CRITICAL CONDITION AS INVESTIGATORS ARE OUT HERE GATHERING INFORMATION TO PIECE TOGETHER WHAT HAPPENED. NOW, NO INFORMATION ABOUT A SUSPECT OR SUSPECT HAS BEEN RELEASED SO FAR. BUT OF COURSE, WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THIS STORY AND BRING YOU THE LATEST. LIVE IN SACRAMENTO COUNTY
