Man Shot in Leg by Home Invaders
Press release from Eureka Police Department:
On February 2, 2017, at about 3:02 a.m., officers with the Eureka Police Department responded to the 1400 block of McCullens Avenue for the report that a male had been shot by an unknown suspect. Officers located the male victim laying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his upper leg. The victim was transported to the hospital by ambulance.
Based on the investigation, it appears the victim woke up to at least two unknown males in his home in the process of stealing marijuana. The victim confronted the suspects and chased them out to the street where he heard a “pop” and felt a sharp pain in his leg. The suspects were last seen running south on Iowa Street.
Officers searched the area and located a trail of marijuana leading from the victim’s residence to Allard Avenue. No suspects were located. The suspects were only described as at least two males.
The victim is being treated for a serious injury to the leg. Anyone with information is asked to call the Eureka Police Department at (707) 441-4060.

He’s lucky it was just in the leg, phew!
Definitely not marijuana related.
Definitely not prohibition or money related.
We need everyone to start growing weed , to the point where it becomes worthless. End the weed greed!
You are exactly right and that is what I’m doing. I’m growing and giving it away to needy friends to keep them out of the greedy dispensaries.
Bless your heart. Lake County is full of Seniors who need your generosity.
Darn it!!! I was sound asleep and it happened right behind our house. now i know why there was alot of officers in our neighborhood around 12pm
So much for legalization stopping marijuana related crimes.
Wrong. It’s still schedual one at the federal level.
Why would you imagine it will stop overnight? Once it is a freely available as booze, these
thugs will have no profit.
Getting robbed and shot is a well know risk inherent in the producing and selling of black market street drugs. It will happen again soon, and again, and again. Glad there weren’t any children involved.
Now that it is semi legal…do you think this kind of crime will fade…or will it increase because criminals are too lazy to plant a garden…plus the rules are too complex & costly for people of limited intelligence and resources to follow?
Just askin’
Wherever you find dope you will find crime. Just Sayin’.
You could say that about krispy kream if the gov’t made krispy kream illegal.
I sure wish I knew, Vf. I’m thinking that where people of bawlz’ level of intelligence congregate, there will be plenty of substitute “crimes” and “criminals” to keep the machine grinding.
