The sheriff’s department said the incident happened in the area of Drake Way in Oregon House, about 30 miles northeast of Marysville around 8 p.m.

“As the victims were attempting to obtain the license plate of the pickup truck, the 35-year-old suspect exited the residence and pointed a firearm at the victims,” deputies said.
Deputies added the victims quickly turned to leave as the suspect fired “several times in their direction,” but neither were hit by any bullets.
“As deputies arrived in the area and attempted contact with the suspect, he continued to fire his weapon, barely missing several of the deputies,” officials continued.
The suspect was arrested and booked at the Yuba County Jail for assault with a firearm and shooting at an inhabited vehicle.
