Gunfire Disrupts American Canyon Night, Police Seek Public’s Help in Roadway Altercation ProbeSource: Google Street View

The quiet of an American Canyon night was abruptly shattered last night as residents reported the sound of gunfire erupting from a roadway altercation. According to the American Canyon Police Department, the incident unfolded shortly after 9:30 p.m. near the 400 block of Rio Del Mar, where witnesses heard between three to eight gunshots. The source of the disturbance was traced to a conflict between two vehicles.

Following the sound of gunfire, residents saw one vehicle make a hastened retreat, heading westbound towards Wetlands Edge Road. Arriving officers responding to the scene found a parked car that no one was occupying bore the mark of a stray bullet. Near the scene, investigators recovered bullet casings, yet no injuries have been reported.

As the search for answers continues, law enforcement contacts the public for assistance. The American Canyon Police actively seek information and encourage anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact them at (707) 551-0600.
