CARMICHAEL (CBS13) – A parking lot hit-and-run crash exploded into a crowbar attack and then a gun battle in Carmichael on Monday.
In the end, four people were attacked and one of them died.
This bizarre incident consisted of two different crime scenes: one was a grocery store parking lot, and the other was a Carmichael Elks Lodge facility. That’s where, deputies say, the wife of one of the victims brought things to an end.
Dispatch audio described a man of a man in a black pickup truck who drove erratically over sidewalks and barriers
A witness tried to help after the truck rammed a person in the parking lot. According to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, the suspect then circled back and hit the good samaritan too. The first person who was hit died. The suspect then sped away, crashing into a car a block away near Cypress Avenue and Hackberry Lane.
“They pushed that vehicle approximately 100 yards down the street,” said Deputy Rod Grassman.
Investigators say the suspect then got out with what looked like a crowbar and started hitting the car and a third victim. The victim was able to get away with the help of a private security guard nearby.
The suspect then turned into the parking lot of the Elks Lodge on that street. Deputies say he took out a gun and approached a man in a trailer. The two got into a fight and the gun went off. It’s not clear if anyone was hit.
The fight ended when the victim’s wife came out of the trailer and shot the suspect.
Mike Guido says he drove by as the suspect was beating the third victim with the crowbar. Guido said he tried to help when the suspect hit his car with the weapon, leaving a large hole behind.
Guido said he left the scene when he saw the suspect had a gun
“He looked enraged like he had anger in his eyes…like something out of a movie,” he said.
The motive behind the attacks is still unclear, and it doesn’t look like any of the victims knew each other.
The suspect was treated and taken into custody.
Another fatal shooting happened on Monday. That one happened inside of a Carmichael apartment. Investigators say the two incidents are unrelated.
It was stopped by an armed citizen with a gun.
Sudden Jihad Syndrome?
Clue me in. California??
Sounds more like meth, but maybe.
Well, they managed to describe the truck as black; but they couldn’t bring themselves to describe the driver...
I’d have done the same for my husband. Good woman!
?
It was near Sacramento CA. The women who tried to help the old man had to crawl away with a broken leg. The old man, 68 , died. I could only find the name of woman with the broken leg. I bet the driver has a name like Abudulla Yaba Daba Doo.
The whole article is a disaster. I got a headache trying to read it.
Could be meth, sudden Jihad, woke.
Don't know yet.
This happened less than a mile from me. The person killed was in the middle of a crosswalk when hit, not a parking lot. We still do not know anything about the suspect. I’m guessing a member of a protected class. If it were a white Trump supporter it would be blasted everywhere.
I read the account of the initial hit from an eye witness. Not going to repeat it here but he is seeking counseling it was that bad.
It took two reporters to assemble that sentence.
Please keep us informed.
Reads as if Rosalio and Michael are on meth.
Just an automated transcript from a broadcast.
My grandfather was hit while crossing a street in a crosswalk in a different part of Sacramento when he was 72—he was not initially expected to survive but managed to live another 21 years. The car was driven by a 17-year-old girl. It was a four-lane city street—a car had stopped for him to cross and she sped past in the other lane. But that was a simpler age—she was just an inexperienced driver and did not come back to make sure he was dead.
