TRACY — Authorities are working to determine what led to a man being shot in Tracy on Wednesday.
Officers responded shortly before 2 p.m. to a report of a crash in the area of West Schulte Road between Hansen Road and Gateway Crossing, a spokesperson for the Tracy Police Department said. However, when they arrived, no evidence of a crash was found.
Sometime later, the department received another call regarding a person who was involved in a crash and was shot. Officers went back to the area and located a gunshot victim in the passenger seat of a vehicle.
