Original story:
Thursday morning began with a shooting and a car crashing into a home in West Sacramento, the West Sacramento Police Department reports.
The shooting happened roughly in the area Cummins Way and 6th Street, though police have taped off several blocks as they investigate. Several evidence markers line the street leading up to the car crash, where apparently the scene played out in the early morning hours of May 6.
As the area continues to be taped off, a traffic advisory is underway. The area of 6th Street and Cummins Way is closed due to the police activity. West Sacramento police are advising drivers headed to Elkhorn Elementary School to use Douglas as an alternate route.
Not many details are known at this time, including whether there were any victims of the shooting or the condition of the driver of the car that crashed into the home.
The initial report of shots fired came in at around 1:53 a.m., and investigators are still learning more.
