MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff's Office said Monday that it's continuing its investigation into a driveby shooting incident that occurred last Friday in Middletown.

Capt. Chris Macedo said no one was injured in the incident, which occurred late on Friday, April 27. No arrests in the incident were reported Monday.

Middletown resident Sharon Dawson, who witnessed the incident – which took place in front of her home – told Lake County News in a Saturday interview that she had pulled a teenage girl into her home for safety just minutes before hearing two shots.

Macedo said sheriff's deputies were dispatched to a residence on Wardlaw Street in Middletown at 11:45 p.m. last Friday on the report of a male hitting a female with a handgun.

Two minutes after the caller reported the incident, the same caller reported hearing two gunshots come from an area just outside the residence, he said.

At approximately 11:59 p.m., deputies arrived on scene and contacted a witness, Macedo said.

He said the witness told deputies that he was with some friends near Store 24 in Middletown. One of the witnesses reportedly was conversing with another unknown male.

The two men then got into an argument and the unknown male pulled out a handgun and began waving it around, according to Macedo's report. The witness’ friend then challenged the unknown male with a handgun to a fight. 

A female friend of the witness started to walk away from the area, but was hit on the head with the handgun by the unknown male, Macedo said.

A friend of the witness then began to chase the unknown male suspect down the street after he struck the female with the handgun. Macedo reported that the witness said that one of his friends then went after the suspect who had struck the female with the handgun. 

Another unknown male and presumed friend of the suspect punched the friend of the witness in the face, Macedo said.

The friend of the witness then turned his attention to the unknown friend of the suspect. Macedo said the unidentified friend of the suspect then took the gun from the other suspect and pointed it at the friend of the witness.

Two unknown males in a SUV then pulled up and both suspects got in the SUV and drove away, Macedo said.

A few minutes later the witness and his friends were at the corner of Wardlaw Street and Lincoln Street when the SUV drove past their location, according to Macedo.

Macedo said the witness reported that as the SUV drove past them, the first suspect leaned out the passenger side of the SUV and fired two shots at the group.

The SUV then left the area, Macedo said. The witness reported that no one was hit or injured after they were fired upon. 

Lake County Sheriff’s Deputies checked the area for additional witnesses and or victims, Macedo said, adding that the case is currently under investigation.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at 707-263-2690.
