The shooting took place at an apartment complex on Lincoln Ave. Aerial footage showed that police had cordoned off a building at the complex.

Napa police told CBS News Bay Area there was no current threat to the public. So far, there was no word from authorities as to the nature of the incident. 

The Napa County Sheriff's Office also had deputies at the scene, but the sheriff said Napa police were the lead agency on the shooting investigation.

Napa police later issued a second community alert shortly after 2 p.m. to avoid Kennedy Park until further notice due to police activity, but did not say if that activity was connected to the earlier shooting.

Police said additional information would be provided as it becomes available.
