Shooting, Chase, And Crash Leaves Woodland Neighbors On Edge
WOODLAND (CBS13) - A wild shooting in Woodland forced people in several neighborhoods to take cover.
What started as a drive-by shooting into a home, turned into a car chase, car-to-car shooting, and crash before cops tracked down three suspects —including a 14-year-old boy.
An 18-year-old witness was in her driveway with her little cousin when they both had to duck and cover from bullets flying through her street.
"And we heard at least 15 shots maybe," she said. "My heart was just pounding, so much and it was scary."
They hid behind a car and escaped the shooting unharmed.

A drive-by shooting into a home on Beamer street left one man inside grazed by a bullet. Someone else in the home then got into a truck to chase the gunmen, ramming their vehicle, while taking on more gunshots.

The crash forced the gunmen to run. They were eventually found hiding in another neighborhood, behind a backyard fence. Woodland police posted pictures of the weapons recovered and say these are only a small fraction of guns taken off the Woodland streets in recent months.
The Woodland Police Gang Task Force is investigating this weekend's shooting.
Malorie Farley also heard the gunshots from her home. She grew up in Woodland and worries it's becoming too dangerous.
"It was just, it was awful," Farley said. "Anybody that knows Woodland it's a little farm town, it's a little small town that we grow tomatoes and we grow sunflowers and that's what's big around here, so it's a little scary that a Gang Task Force is here."
