Rancho Tehama >> Rancho Tehama >> Two men were shot and killed Monday morning in what authorities believe was a home invasion in the Rancho Tehama area of western Tehama County.

The Sheriff’s Office received reports just after 10 a.m. Monday of a man being shot in the area of Amador Court and Rancho Tehama Reserve Road.

Deputies responded to the entrance of Black Ranch where the owner of the residence reported a dead man was in his driveway.

While at the first scene, deputies received an additional call at 10:30 a.m. from a Corning gas station on Highway 99W, of a man with a gunshot wound who entered the station and fell on the floor. The man later succumbed to his injuries and died before making it to the hospital.

Assistant Sheriff Phil Johnston said the office received multiple 9-1-1 calls regarding the shooting and believes it is a home invasion situation that resulted in shots being fired. Officials also received reports from individuals who saw two men running off and a white pickup truck leaving the area.

With the help of multiple law enforcement agencies actively searching the area of Amador Court and Alpine Drive, several people who may have been involved have been detained but no one has been arrested.

The Sheriff’s Office, however, is not confident it has all the people involved.

Corning police were on scene at the Corning Chevron gas station, and reported that four locations were being investigated and searched.

The gas station’s owner reported two men drove up in a white Ford pickup truck. One was the gunshot victi, the other ran off southbound on 99W. Johnston confirmed that statement.
