Sacramento County Sheriff's deputies detained two men near the 6600 block of Bradshaw Road for questioning today after a Bee delivery woman told officers that shots were fired at her vehicle from a trailer home in the area.
Deputy Jason Ramos, department spokesman, the woman drove onto the property to deliver a newspaper to another trailer home about 30 yards away from the first one when shots were fired at the car. Inside the vehicle, in addition to the driver, was an unidentified delivery helper.
The woman, whose company contracts to deliver the papers, quickly turned the car around to leave the property, but the shots kept coming. An estimated six to eight shots were fired into the vehicle, Ramos said.
When deputies arrived, they surrounded the trailer home and called out to the occupants to leave. The two men stepped outside along with one woman and two children, who were unharmed, ages 3 and 11.
Another woman was found inside during a sweep of the trailer, along with more than a half dozen firearms, including at least one gun and several rifles.
Ramos said officers were also examining a marijuana growing operation on the property and were talking to the two detained men.
Bradshaw Road was closed between Florin and Elder Creek roads.
