    My understanding is that no law enforcement were injured. https://lostcoastoutpost.com/2016/dec/6/shots-fired-downtown-one-person-down-after-eureka/

    Gregg, I saw that reported right now also on North Coast News. As I wrote above, maybe a CHP officer. I certainly hope that is true. I am waiting for the official report. Different media outlets have bits and pieces, no one has reported an official statement, yet.

    This is my blog, not an advertisement for LOCO. Gregg. I get my news directly from the source and those who prove to be reliable.

    Like I said, Chief Mills statement tonight and remember this happened when it was dark, it has all law enforcement, information will be forthcoming and ongoing.
