Bullets slammed into an occupied home in Redwood City, and police say they now have a suspect in custody. The arrest followed a police investigation, and officials say the case is still very much active as detectives chase down additional leads.
In a press release shared by the Redwood City Police Department, the agency confirmed that an arrest was made in connection with shots fired into an occupied dwelling. True to form in an ongoing investigation, the announcement offered few specifics about the suspect, the exact location of the home, or whether anyone was hurt.
Penalties the suspect could face
Under California law, firing a gun at an inhabited dwelling is a felony punishable by three, five, or seven years in state prison, according to the California Legislature. Prosecutors can also seek additional charges or sentencing enhancements if the shooting caused injury or death, and detectives often add related weapons or assault counts as a case develops.
How to reach investigators
The department has asked anyone with information about the case to contact investigators through the Redwood City Police non-emergency line, as listed on the city’s official contact page. For emergencies, residents should call 9-1-1 or visit the City of Redwood City website for non-emergency numbers.
