Woman Dead, Man Injured In Shooting At Natomas Apartment
SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - Police are investigating a double shooting overnight at a Sacramento apartment that left one person dead and another person injured.
Around 1 a.m. Friday morning, Sacramento police received the report of a shooting at The Creek apartments in the 2600 block of Stonecreek Drive. When officers arrived at the address, they found a man and a woman both with gunshot wounds.
Officers gave medical aid to the two until fire department personnel arrived and transported them to a local hospital.
The female victim later died and the man is expected to survive.
The shooting jolted residents at the apartment complex awake and sent at least one mom and her kids running for cover.
"I was pretty much shooken up. I grabbed my children, we ran into my bedroom, into the closet and just hit the floor and tried to stay out of the way," said a nearby resident. "Being a mother, it's really scary being in this type of situation."
Police believe the shooting was a homicide. Detectives searched the area and spoke to witnesses and believe the shooter ran from the area before they arrived. The reason for the shooting is under investigation.
The Sacramento County Coroner's Office will release the identity of the victim after next of kin have been notified.
