Car-to-car shooting at a pizza parking lot being investigated. One detained, police say
Police investigated an apparent car-to-car shooting Sunday afternoon in east-central Fresno.
Officers were called out around 5:07 p.m. to East Olive and North Chestnut avenues about multiple shots were fired between two vehicles following a disturbance in the parking lot at Sam’s Pizza, Fresno police Lt. Mike Gebhart said.
The two vehicles left the area, Gebhart said. One was last seen going east on Olive and the other vehicle going west.
The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office helicopter assisted and observed a black Lexus traveling at a high rate of speed going westbound from the area, Gebhart said. Officers pulled over the vehicle and detained a person who told officers that he had been shot at.
Gebhart said the person wasn’t hit by gunfire, but “it is believed his pant leg had been struck.”
It’s unknown, Gebhart said, what the argument was about. Detectives are investigating.
No injuries were reported in the shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 559-621-7000.
