  1. I’m confused. The Treatment Center or the main office? Ukiah Recovery Center is on Brush and the main office with the shelter and housing is on Ford Street.

      • I figured as much. But I guess it sounds more “juicy” to say it happened outside a treatment facility. From what I’m gathering from a friend’s security camera footage it happened closer to the trap house than the admin building.

  2. The bullet casings were found on Ford and Joseph Streets. The shots were fired there. My neighbor caught it on video on Joseph Street. The police and sheriff’s were concentrating on this section of Ford Street. 3 cars were hit, all in this area. I didn’t hear the shots until they were up towards Ford & Joseph. I really doubt it started at the treatment center.

  3. How was a Permit obtained for this place when a Daycare is right across the street????????????? What a mistake to put it in the wrong location
