CLEARLAKE – Authorities were in search of a suspect late Monday night in connection with a shooting that left one person injured.

Radio reports at 9:45 p.m. indicated gunshots were fired in the vicinity of 39^th Avenue in Clearlake.

An officer arriving on the scene reportedly found one victim with a single gunshot wound to the chest in the highway, reports indicated.

While the officer removed the victim from the road, in another area one person was reported taken into custody, with Lake County Sheriff's deputies en route.

While the shooting victim was airlifted for medical care, a be-on-the-lookout call was issued for a 25 year old male adult, believed to be in possession of two 9 millimeter, semiautomatic handguns.

The man – described as an Indian male with a heavy, tall build – was reportedly driving a gray Chrysler 300 with tinted windows, low-profile tires and chrome rims.

Clearlake Police indicated a report would be released on the situation sometime Tuesday.
