Man Shot Wednesday Morning on Somersville Road in Antioch

Just before 7:30 am Wednesday, the Antioch Police Department responded to a report of a shooting in the area of Somersville Road at Delta Fair Blvd in the City of Antioch.

Police responded to the Valero Gas Station where it was reported that a male had been shot in the arm.

According to preliminary information, the shooting occurred in the shopping center across the street. A male had walked up to a vehicle and opened fire into a vehicle where the man had been sleeping. The gunshots struck the male in the arm which prompted him to drive away to the gas station and seek medial attention.

Police located a vehicle shot up with casings in the street. Police are not sure if this was related to road rage or just someone shooting at another person.
