Car Window Shot Out, Casings From Two Guns, Leave Police With Mystery

Pasadena Police officers rushed to Washington Blvd. near Navarro Avenue in Pasadena early Sunday after the department received several calls about shots being fired in the area.

Watch Commander Lt. John Mercado said police received “multiple” calls at about 2:20 a.m. and immediately dispatched units to the area along the 100 block of Washington Blvd. to check.

“Most of those callers were putting the noise coming from Washington and Navarro,” Mercado said. “Our officers, when they arrived on scene, initially they were unable to locate any evidence of anything happening. No victims, no witnesses flagging them down on the street, and they didn’t find any physical evidence.”

The officers ultimately were able to call one of the people who reported the incident originally, and that witness provided the officers on scene with more specific information that led the officers to locating two sets of shell casings, one of them being from a 9-mm handgun, and one being from a 32-caliber bullet, Mercado said.

The officers also found a vehicle with the rear window shot out, but didn’t find any victims or additional witnesses.

“So we don’t know if it was two people shooting at each other, or if it was two people in concert shooting at somebody else,” Mercado said.

Police checked local hospitals but did not get information about anyone being brought in and treated for gunshot wounds.
