3 Wounded In Drive-By Shooting In Vallejo: Police

VALLEJO, CA — Three people suffered gunshot wounds in a drive-by shooting Thursday night in Vallejo, police said.

The victims, a 27-year-old woman, an 18-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl were sitting in a car around 10 p.m. Thursday in the 1000 block of Caldwell Avenue when someone drove by and fired multiple shots into their car, Vallejo Police Department Spokesperson Brittany Jackson said.

The victims — all Vallejo residents — were rushed to a local hospital and as of noon Friday, the 18-year-old man was in stable condition but both female victims were listed in critical condition, Jackson said.

No suspect information was available Friday, Jackson said.

The police department plans to host a community town hall meeting in the near future to discuss ending gun violence in the city.

"This devastating multi-victim shooting is yet another example of why we must have a unified and multi-disciplinary approach to eradicating gun violence in the City of Vallejo," police Chief Shawny Williams said. "Victims and their families are suffering trauma on a daily basis and we cannot allow lawless individuals to continue harming our community.

"While Operation PEACE and our ALPR technology have helped the Department make significant strides in addressing gun violence, we cannot stop here and more importantly, we cannot do this alone," Williams said.

Police asked anyone with information about the shooting to call Detective Josh Caitham at 707-648-4343 or Detective Craig Long at 707-648-4514.
