SWAIN'S FLAT- Two people are in the hospital after a shooting in Eastern Humboldt.
The shooting occurred on Church Lane in Swain’s Flat, a small community located on State Route 36 east of Carlotta. As the investigation continues, authorities do not have a motive for the shooting at this time.
At around 8:45 p.m. on Tuesday, the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple reports of shots fired with a man and woman injured at a residence in Swain’s Flat.
"Upon the deputies' arrival, they learned that the suspect had entered the residence uninvited, an argument ensued, and the suspect shot the female victim and the boyfriend of the female victim returned fire and subsequently shot the suspect," said Sgt. Diana Freese with the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office.
The female victim was shot in the arm and eventually transported to Redwood Memorial Hospital in Fortuna. The male suspect allegedly fled the residence on foot before authorities arrived.
"He had left the incident location and he was located out in the area of the Swain's Flat Outpost," Sgt. Freese said.
Both the victim and suspect are in stable condition.
"It's not clear what the motivation is, however, it's currently under investigation," said Sgt. Freese.
Investigators were at the crime scene on Wednesday and served a search warrant at the residence and surrounding area.
"The Humboldt County Sheriff's Department encourages anyone with any information to contact the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department and we appreciate anybody who does call who provides us information," Sgt. Freese said.
You can call the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office at (707) 445-7251. Police could not provide the names of the victim or suspect at this time.
