[UPDATE 10 p.m.] One Shot in Eureka
At 9:43 p.m., a man male reported that his friend was shot with a .22 in the 3800 block of H Street in Eureka, according to a dispatcher speaking over the scanner. The victim reportedly has a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
The incident is far south of the protest and at this time appears to be unrelated.
An ambulance was dispatched and asked to stage outside the area until law enforcement had cleared the area.
There is at least one juvenile at the scene guiding officers to the victim, according to a report from the scene at 9:51 p.m. Medical was told to leave the staging area and head to the incident.
Please remember that information gathered from initial reports is subject to revision as more facts become available.
UPDATE 9:54 p.m.: An officer requested that the detained juveniles be checked for a .22 pistol. The shooting, he said over the scanner, is accidental.
UPDATE 10 p.m.: The officers were searching for the weapon. They were told to look under the bed. An officer reported soon afterwards that the weapon had been located.

Thank god I hope it was a looter!
I doubt the shooter was also a looter, but he may be a tooter.
Or possibly a butt naked booty scooter
🤣
nice kill our kids, or even blame them—- they are as frustrated, afraid and confused as the rest excerpt their frontal cortex ( new brain) is not active, therefore they don’t have the “Reasoning” that adults do!!! look at the way adults are behaving across the globe, shoot here in the USA!!! We are fighting for a World, a world on the brink of extinction from the powers that be!!! How then do you expect our children to behave? they take their lead from adults, don’t blame the children, we have only ourselves to blame!!!
Looting related?
It was an accident and juveniles, according to first reports from the scene.
You people are not funny, weird, and rude.
Thanks Kim for the extra details.
Thank you.
Unfortunately, this is close for me.
Agree.
Relax and loosen your belt. It was obviously an accident with a high powered pellet gun, probably with a scope and silencer. I’m sure he got nothing more than a really bad boo-boo with a story to tell and a life lesson.
It was an accident. There was no altercation. It was an irresponsible bad accident. The boys have nothing to do with looting.
🕯🌳Everyone is getting hot headed and stupid even the young ones. 🖖🌍🐸
Yeah, you’re right.
Even the young people are hopelessly infected by the stupidity. This rioting could become a bigger problem than the cor-19. I doubt that the old and infirm will go down.
