(FOX40.COM) — A 35-year-old man was arrested in Northern California on Saturday night after shooting at two people who were attempting to confront him for driving recklessly, according to the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department.
The sheriff’s department said the incident happened in the area of Drake Way in Oregon House, about 30 miles northeast of Marysville around 8 p.m.
Deputies said they learned that just before receiving the call of shots fired, an adult and a juvenile walked to the above-mentioned area to “confront the driver of a pickup truck who was seen driving recklessly on Manzanita Lane.”

“As the victims were attempting to obtain the license plate of the pickup truck, the 35-year-old suspect exited the residence and pointed a firearm at the victims,” deputies said.
Deputies added the victims quickly turned to leave as the suspect fired “several times in their direction,” but neither were hit by any bullets.
“As deputies arrived in the area and attempted contact with the suspect, he continued to fire his weapon, barely missing several of the deputies,” officials continued.
The suspect was arrested and booked at the Yuba County Jail for assault with a firearm and shooting at an inhabited vehicle.
