Child shot in 'gun battle' in north Stockton neighborhood

STOCKTON — One juvenile was shot Thursday morning in what police called a “gun battle” that took place in a north Stockton neighborhood.

Officers already were near the 900 block of Oakhurst Way at around 1:35 a.m. when they heard multiple gunshots coming from that direction.

In the report, authorities found the juvenile had been shot and was taken to a local area hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

At the scene, evidence of a “gun battle” were found outside near a home, and investigators later found other residences and vehicles had been shot, but no one else was seriously hurt.

Police described the possible shooters only as numerous teenagers, one wearing dark clothing.

STOCKTON — A 30-year-old man was taken into custody after allegedly cutting a officer in the face during a struggle.

At 1:03 a.m. Thursday, police arrived to the 1500 block of Rosemarie Lane on the report of a man who appeared to be under the influence of drugs and was causing a disturbance.
