Just before 2:15 pm Tuesday, the Antioch Police Department responded to a home on Greystone Drive in the City of Antioch on a report that a female said she had been wounded in a shooting.
According to preliminary information, the female was shot in the leg and was transported to an area hospital for treatment. It appears the shooting occurred elsewhere in the City of Antioch when the female drove home before calling for medical attention.
Police said the victim did not appear to be the intended target of the shooting and appears to be a bystander based on initial investigation. Police believed this could have been two vehicles shooting at each other. The victim said the shooting occurred on Lone Tree Way near Eagleridge Drive. Police later dispersed to the area in an effort to local evidence from the shooting, its unclear if anything was recovered.
No other information has been released by Antioch Police. The condition of the victim is not known.
Just last week, a woman was shot and killed on Mandarin Way while on Dec. 17 a 16-year-old was shot and killed at Williamson Ranch Park.
