Person dies after shooting reported on Howe Avenue in Sacramento County

A person was found dead Tuesday afternoon after deputies responded to a reported shooting on Howe Avenue in the Arden-Arcade area of Sacramento County, officials said.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said several calls about a shooting began coming in around 3 p.m. in the 800 block of Howe Avenue, just north of Fair Oaks Boulevard.

Deputies found one person unresponsive at the scene. The sheriff's office said medics responded and the person was pronounced dead.

Authorities have not released the victim's identity or provided information about what may have happened.

Just south of the shooting scene, a vehicle stop on eastbound Highway 50 had halted traffic in both directions between Howe and Watt Avenues due to a barricaded person, officials said.

The sheriff's office said the vehicle stop is believed to be tied to the Howe Avenue shooting.

Shortly before 4 p.m., a CBS News Sacramento crew at the scene observed what appeared to be an individual down on the ground surrounded by law enforcement officials.

Around the same time, westbound traffic began flowing through again while eastbound traffic remained stopped.

Law enforcement officials said it is not clear when the freeway will fully reopen.

The freeway activity comes hours after a deadly law enforcement shooting on Highway 50 in Sacramento County early Tuesday morning. That incident happened after a pursuit began on Folsom Boulevard and ended near Hazel Avenue, where authorities said the driver produced what appeared to be a gun before being shot.
