Police investigate Wednesday night Clearlake shooting
CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Clearlake Police officers early Thursday were on scene investigating a shooting that sent two people to the hospital.
Chief Andrew White said the shooting occurred at Twin Oaks Village, located at 5755 Old Highway 53.
At approximately 9:11 p.m. Wednesday, officers responded to a report of shots fired at the location, White said.
When officers arrived, White said they located numerous subjects, two of them suffering from gunshot wounds.
While attempting to detain the persons involved, one subject ran but was quickly detained by another officer, White said.
White said detectives responded to the scene along with investigators from the Lake County District Attorney’s Office.
He said early Thursday that investigators were processing the scene and interviewing subjects.
The gunshot victims – two male adults – were treated at a local hospital, with White reporting that they were going to be flown out of the county for treatment.
The investigation initially closed the roadway between Old Highway 53 and Cass Avenue to old Highway 53 and Ridgeview.
Shortly after 3:30 a.m., police said both lanes of Old Highway 53 were open but Cypress Avenue remained closed.
