A 23-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of four crimes, including assault with a firearm and child endangerment, following a shooting in unincorporated San Mateo County on Wednesday, authorities said.
Deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the area of Miramontes Point Road and Oleander Way at 5:58 p.m. Wednesday, according to a news release from the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities did not say if anyone had been struck or injured in the shooting. The suspect fled the scene before authorities arrived, according to the news release.
After investigators, including the county’s Gang Intelligence Unit, began working the case, they identified a San Mateo County man as a suspect.
The 23-year old suspect was arrested Thursday in Gilroy. Detectives executed a search warrant at a nearby home — authorities did not say what led them to the home, or who lived there — and found a “ghost gun,” a personally manufactured weapon that did not bear a serial number. The suspect was arrested on suspicion of assault with a firearm, child endangerment, criminal threats and reckless discharge of a firearm.
The sheriff’s office said in the release that detectives believe the shooting was an isolated incident and there is no public safety concern. Authorities did not specify a reason for the child endangerment booking charge.
