Car driven off road by hail of bullets on Marconi Avenue in Arden Arcade
A man is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after being driven off the road by a barrage of approximately 30 bullets that were fired at his vehicle Sunday morning in Arden Arcade and caused him to crash into a tree. The incident happened just before 6 a.m near Marconi Avenue and Montclaire Street.
Despite the hail of bullets fired at a gray Jeep SUV, the injuries appear to be from the impact of the crash, not wounds from gunfire.
Sacramento County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Amar Gandhi said that though the 'victim was struck by at least two of the rounds,' the bullets did not penetrate his skin, according to information provided to sheriff investigators by doctor's treating the victim.
The estimate of 30 shots fired is a preliminary figure derived from the number of spent shell casings found at the scene, Gandhi said.
The sheriff's office is still investigating the shooting and has no suspects at this time. Anyone with information is asked to call 916-874-5115, Gandhi said.
