Officers were called to the Claudia Court complex near L Street at about 8 PM, where they found a person suffering at least one gunshot wound. The victim was treated at the scene before being taken by ambulance to a hospital, as reported by Contra Costa News.
Antioch police, including Lt. Bill Whitaker, told reporters the incident appears to be an "isolated incident" and that investigators expected the victim to survive. Officers were searching for a suspect, according to a report by The Mercury News.
Scene, evidence, and initial confusion
Police briefly shut down the apartment complex while evidence markers were placed outside a laundry room where officers believe the shooting occurred. Early accounts suggested multiple victims, but investigators later said there was a single person hit and the scene was being processed, per Contra Costa News.
