Galt police are trying to unravel a gunfire mystery after officers found evidence of a shooting on Tuesday at the intersection of 4th and C streets, but no victims and no clear suspects at the scene. Detectives followed up on leads that took them to a home in Sacramento, where investigators recovered additional evidence and detained several people. One adult man was arrested there on a charge that police say is not connected to the Galt shooting, and the investigation remains active.

Investigation and arrest

Officers initially responded to multiple calls reporting shots fired near 4th and C and discovered physical evidence consistent with a shooting, but no injured individuals. According to FOX40, follow-up work by Galt detectives led them to a Sacramento residence, where they found more evidence and several people. Police say the adult man arrested at that address was booked on an unrelated charge and has not been publicly tied to the reported gunfire in Galt.

The Galt Police Department says the probe is ongoing and is asking anyone with information to come forward. Tipsters can call the department's non-emergency line at 209-366-7130 or submit information through the agency's website, according to the Galt Police Department news page.
