[EPD Finds No Victim, No Gunshots] Law Enforcement Barricade on Henderson, Possible Shots Fired

Eureka Police Department blocking Henderson.

UPDATE 11:25 p.m.:  At the scene of the incident, our intrepid editor, Hank Sims, spoke with Chief Andrew Mills of the Eureka Police Department (EPD.) Mills told Sims that his officers had responded to several reports of a person screaming, “I’m shot. I’m shot.” Reports from neighbors included hearing several loud bangs. (Sims reports seeing seven officers are on the scene along with a K9 unit. )

When EPD arrived, Mills said his officers “cleared the house.” They did not find any victims or discover any evidence of bullets being fired. However, several of the people at the home had nerf guns in their pockets.  Apparently there was a party on Henderson tonight.
