LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department is investigating an early Monday morning drive-by shooting.
The incident occurred just before 2 a.m. Monday, according to radio traffic.
A caller reported to authorities that someone had just driven by their home in the 800 block of 16th Street and had shot numerous times into the house, radio traffic indicated.
