According to scanner information, they are at the scene of an attempted home invasion. The suspects are reportedly still inside. Residents in the area are being asked to shelter in place.

I was wondering if they were talking about Salyer… Because I’ve never heard of Sawyer in Trinity County. But wasn’t sure if it was just a place I’d never heard of..

I live in Hawkins Bar and just saw two armored Hummers(both w/shooting turrets) going that direction…so far at least a dozen marked and unmarked vehicles have gone by…

Kym, you’re the best. I do have a request, however. Is there any way that you could list the time that these stories hit the interwebs? With certain news, I am left wondering if it is ongoing or if it has happened hours ago. Thank you…Slayer rules!

A hundred years ago and less, well-armed members of the community would have joined the Sheriff. Now they’re told to go to their hidey-holes.

Another fine example of the Wussification Of America, where disarmament of the populace is used as the basis for militarization of law enforcement and the creation of a total police state.

You are right. It’s a real shame. The SWAT guys will kill you if you get in the way

Who the hell is disarmed? These days we tend to let the pro’s handle the maniacs while the citizens guard their home and curtilage. Sorry to say, reality is not exactly like movies and war videos. No reset button if you get shot in the street. You don’t really know much about guns, do you?

If you ask me he didn’t get nearly what he deserves. That’s just my opinion and I’m his granddaughter, but I know he has a lot more coming his way.

I lived in the area briefly and I do remember Bill Frye and his family. Bill had an opinion on everything but he was always respectful to me.
After you cross the South Fork bridge there’s a church on the right and just past that some houses and then the Salyer Post Office (and a store, if it’s still there).
Across from the is the road that leads to Councilman Road (left) and Salyer Heights (right). The Salyer Heights road leads to an old back road to Willow Creek.
Like with the recent closure of 101 due to the tanker spill, you always needed to know the alternate routes, however sketchy they might be.

Confusion on name could come from the fact there’s a Sawyers Bar up in Siskiyou county, near Etna. Old mining town.

Funny how tcso doesn’t handle forensic evidence, or murder cases unless it’s their liability which means delete 911 calls and promote the culprits.

Does anyone know the story of the tcso camp chopper that crashed in Humboldt and everyone ran away?

How about the stalk burning in fork ?

Lmao…

Yea, they call Shasta because there is more to this…

Like title company and a dog…

Just keep them in Weaverville. From that spot you can quad up to 6000 feet and long time back get great tacos…cool riding. Hope insurgents get away.

Dirty like kettenpom ,

Dirty is a ” Constitunal Sheriff ” …

Hot redhead secretary chicks with chop sticks are hard to pass up, even if wife is access to justice in the same building.

Rooting for insurgents on this…

It would be great if the media only utilized the term “Active Shooter” for true “Active Shooter” incidents. This was a “Home Invasion”

An Active Shooter is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
