The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office has launched an investigation into a shooting that occurred late Saturday night in the 6200 block of West 4th Street in Rio Linda. Authorities say the incident unfolded during what appears to have been a large house party, where an altercation escalated into gunfire.
Deputies responded to the scene after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting shots fired. Upon arrival, law enforcement located at least three individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. All three victims were quickly provided medical attention and transported to local hospitals. Officials have confirmed that all are expected to survive their injuries.
Ongoing Search for Victims and Witnesses
While the identities of the victims have not been released, investigators believe there may be additional victims or witnesses who left the scene before deputies arrived. The Sheriff’s Office is urging anyone who attended the party, or who may have seen or heard anything connected to the shooting, to come forward.
Deputies and detectives remained on the scene into the early morning hours, collecting evidence, canvassing the neighborhood, and speaking to residents. Investigators are working to determine how the confrontation began, whether multiple shooters were involved, and if any of the victims were targeted or struck by stray gunfire.
Community Urged to Cooperate
The Sheriff’s Office emphasizes that community cooperation will be key to solving this case. In incidents involving large gatherings, it is often challenging for investigators to piece together an accurate timeline without witness statements and additional evidence, especially when people leave the scene before police arrive.
Detectives are also reviewing potential surveillance footage from nearby homes and businesses that could help identify suspects.
