An incident occurred last week in the 1600 Block of Response Road, Sacramento, where a potential mass shooting threat was addressed. The Sacramento Police Department reported that last Friday, they received a call from an individual claiming to be in possession of two assault rifles and intending to carry out a mass shooting over grievances related to a family member's medical care. The caller, who said they were parked in a red vehicle outside a medical building, did not provide further identifying details.
Following the call, law enforcement officers, supported by an Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS) from the Department's DFR Program, were dispatched to the reported location. According to a social media post from the Sacramento Police Department, their response confirmed that no evidence of a shooting was found, and no individuals were harmed. Despite using technological surveillance and thorough efforts, the officers did not locate anything unusual, ensuring the safety of the public.
The response from officers was supported by the Department's DFR UAS, which provided an aerial view of the area. The drone's perspective allowed for a thorough sweep, helping to confirm the absence of any immediate threat to the community. The Sacramento Police Department acknowledged the effective work of both their officers and the technology that assisted in ensuring public safety.
