Security caught in the middle of shoot-out www.privateofficer.com
SACRAMENTO CA. Dec. 26, 2007 – Sacramento police investigated a Christmas morning shooting in the Gardenland neighborhood that left one man dead and another man injured, officials said.
City Police Lt. Virgil Brown said a security officer at an apartment complex reported hearing 10 to 15 gunshots from different weapons and notified police for assistance. He then managed to position himself where he was safe as he awaited the police.
Police arrived just after 2:15 a.m. to find a 27-year-old man on the ground in the 2200 block of Northview Drive, which is west of Northgate Boulevard and south of El Camino Avenue. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Sacramento Coroner's Office did not release his identity Tuesday, pending notification of his relatives.
Investigators learned that a large group of people had been partying in the street, Brown said.
They also discovered that another victim with a gunshot wound had been taken to a local hospital, and officers received reports that another person may have sustained a minor gunshot wound.
Brown said witnesses were uncooperative with detectives, who worked on Christmas Day to sort through differing accounts of the event.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call Crime Alert at (916) 443-4357.
