Clovis police investigating disturbance, possible shots fired at Sierra Vista Mall

Nine people were in custody Saturday at the Clovis Police Department after officers responded to Sierra Vista Mall for a possible armed disturbance where gunshots may have been fired.

Clovis Police Service Officer Ty Wood said the nine people were being questioned Saturday night at the department's headquarters to determine what happened inside the MB2 Raceway at the Sierra Vista Mall.

Wood said customers ran out of the business following a disturbance inside involving several people. The department released brief updates stating that a witness saw a man brandish a weapon.

The witness told police the man involved may have fired the weapon once or twice. Whether someone actually fired still remains unclear, police said.

Wood said officers were still searching fir bullet casings or holes at the scene.

No injuries were reported following the disturbance, Wood said. The nine who are in custody have not been arrested or charged with any crimes as of Saturday night.

Up the road near Shaw and Willow avenues, officers conducted a "high-risk stop" for a vehicle that was reportedly involved in the incident at Sierra Vista Mall, Wood said. Of the nine in police custody, some came from that traffic stop, Wood added.

Wood said more information on the incidents would likely be released late Saturday or Sunday.
