Citrus Heights police responded to the 7500 block of Sunrise Boulevard after 7:40 p.m. on Sunday to reports of a victim suffering a gunshot wound.
An individual reported to police Sunday evening, Aug. 25, that they had been shot with what was thought to be a low-caliber handgun, police officials said Tuesday.
Upon investigation into the incident, officers discovered that the victim had been in contact with three juveniles who were “shooting cans with a BB gun,” according to police. When the victim spoke with the juveniles, a confrontation occurred, and one of the juveniles shot the victim with a BB gun, police told The Sentinel.
