On 3/8/14, at 9:43 PM, the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Dispatch Center received a 911 call requesting assistance in the 1600 block of Sebastopol Road for several Hispanic males shooting at one another.
Deputies were immediately dispatched and responded to the area.
Initially, there was some confusion of where the incident occurred. Ultimately, deputies located the scene in the 1700 block of Sebastopol Road.
At the scene, deputies found a Hispanic female who was covered in someone else’s blood and uninjured. There was also an expended shell casing in close proximity, to where she was located.
Several people were found inside an adjacent business. Deputies contacted the occupants in the business to check on their safety and welfare. The occupants were having a party at the business and confirmed a shooting had occurred but offered no additional information.
