Saw the chase across the street from my house. Chased a silver pick-up through the Country Club market and up Humboldt Hill where there is no outlet. Scary stuff!
2 Fortuna police cars and an ambulance went tearing down Main Street towards the incident.
Where was the drive by? Heard what sounded like gunshots last night on F, between the golf course & Henderson Center.
I’m not entirely sure. I’m putting up what I’m hearing on the scanner as I hear it.
I heard the drive by shooting last night in Fortuna around 9:30 pm
