Gunfire was exchanged by the occupants of two vehicles in Hamilton City Sunday afternoon.

Both of the vehicles quickly fled the scene, with at least one of them heading to Orland.

An Orland police officer spotted it traveling south on East Street and turning left onto East Yolo Street.

The officer made a felony stop (guns drawn) on East Yolo, just west of Fair Street.

At this time (roughly 4 p.m.), this Glenn County Observer reporter, camera in hand, headed to East Yolo and Fair Street. (The score, by the way, was 7-0, Philadelphia.)

Both children were in custody. Law enforcement officers from the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office, Orland Police Department, and California Highway Patrol were on scene.

The Observer remained at the scene until about 5:30 p.m.

Just before leaving, The Observer asked Sgt. Grant Lemmon of the Glenn County Sheriff’s Office about the other vehicle involved in the shooting. He replied that it had not yet been located.
