The following is a press release from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office. The information has not been proven in a court of law and any individuals described should be presumed innocent until proven guilty:

On 01-29-2025, at approximately 4:36 AM, Deputies from the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office and Officers with the California Highway Patrol, were dispatched to investigate a report of multiple shots fired in the 400 block of Ellen Lynn Road in Redwood Valley, CA.
When Deputies arrived at the scene, they discovered over fifty (50) cartridges of expended .556 ammunition had been discharged in the roadway. Multiple residences and vehicles were determined to have been struck with bullets from the discharged ammunition. Numerous emergency messages were published by the Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center to notify the community of the law enforcement activity on Ellen Lynn Road.
Detectives from the Sheriff’s Office also responded to the scene to assist with this investigation. Deputies canvassed the area and contacted residents to check their welfare. Deputies determined there were no injuries reported as a result of the negligent discharge of the firearm. Several people, including children, were in direct danger of the bullets that entered their residences, due to the disregard for the safety of the community exhibited by the suspect(s).
From the evidence located during this investigation, the subject(s) responsible for this incident were believed to have left the area immediately after the shooting occurred.
During this continuing investigation, Sheriff’s Office personnel were in contact with representatives of the Ukiah Unified School District regarding the nearby school on West Road in Redwood Valley, CA. Due to the fact there was no continuing threat to public safety and the large number of law enforcement representatives still in the area, it was decided there was no justification to interrupt the normal transportation and school schedules.
This incident is still being investigated and the suspect(s) responsible for the discharge of the firearm(s) are unknown at this time. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is requested to contact the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office at 707-463-4086.
This is serious drive by shooting. Thankful no one was injured this time. Hope they find the criminals who did this!
Thankfully no one was hurt, THIS TIME. Any security cameras in the area? I’d be putting some up pronto!!
This is a horrible situation.
Can we get ICE in the area to help out! Sheesh!
surprised your profile photo isn’t a white hood.
I 100% agree with you.
And keep your head in the sand and ignore the illegal Mexican crime problem that persists in Ukiah. I won’t dare let my grandchildren leave our front yard.
You are part of the problem, not the solution. Racists much?
It’s 5.56x45mm aka a .223 Remington basically. What most AR style rifles shoot. Not .556 caliber which would be bigger than .50 BMG. 5.56×45 is what was found at the scene. I hope they find this person. Either with fingerprints from the shell casings or private security camera footage. Anybody that’s dumb enough to do this type of thing needs to be locked up for a long time. This is the definition of negligent discharging of a firearm.
Thanks for the clarification. The original ammo description gave me pause.
