According to a Sacramento Bee report, California Highway Patrol Officer Rich Wetzel said the suspect is described as a white man in his mid-to-late-20s, balding and wearing a light shirt and dark pants.

West Sacramento Police Department spokesman Sgt. Nathan Steele explained officers responded to shots being fired at B&R Head & Block Repair, 407 Harbor Blvd. around 6:30 a.m.
