Police are trying to determine the identity of a suspect who fired several gunshots out the window of a vehicle in the Burger King parking lot on Main Street Sunday evening, allegedly injuring a man at the restaurant across the street.
On Sunday, shortly before 7:00p.m., officers were dispatched to a report of shots fired, arriving to find a 36-year-old male victim with what appeared to be a gunshot wound to his lower extremities.
According to the police report he was being treated by patrons from the restaurant until the medical units arrived. It was reported to officers that the suspect had fled the area west on Main Street.
A possible vehicle description was provided as a blue, 4-door vehicle with one occupant inside. Officers are currently obtaining video surveillance from the area to identify a potential suspect and provide a better vehicle description.
The male victim was conscious but would not provide any information about the shooter or what led to the incident.
Investigators are actively seeking information on the case, and you are asked to contact the Susanville Police Department at 530-257-5605 or email Detective Warner at [email protected] if you can help provide any details that would help.
According to the report it appears that the victim of the incident knew who their assailant was, but they have not provided investigators with that information.
