Bullets Narrowly Miss Child Sleeping, Teen Stabbed: Napa PD

NAPA, CA — Napa police are investigating two weekend cases — a shooting and stabbing — believed to be gang related.

On Sunday, shortly after 4 a.m., Napa police responded to shooting into a house in the 1300 block of Pueblo Avenue.

Police said several bullets struck the house, including one bullet that narrowly missed a 12-year-old child who was asleep in their bedroom.

"Luckily no one was injured and the suspects fled the scene in a dark grey vehicle," police said in a news release. "The Napa Police Department Special Enforcement Unit (SEU) responded and took over the investigation."

Approximately two hours later, Napa Police were dispatched to a report of a stabbing victim at the Queen of the Valley Medical Center.

"The 18-year-old victim had non-life threatening injuries and was uncooperative with officers. The victim received medical attention and was released," police said.

It was not immediately known to Patch if the two incidents are related.
