Several shots were fired at a home in north Natomas late last night, injuring one person.

At about 11:11 p.m. unknown suspects fired multiple shots at a home on the 4900 block of Alterra Way.

A 10-year-old girl inside the house suffered a gunshot wound to her arm which police said was non life-threatening. Family members met police and fire en route to the hospital and paramedics transported the girl to a local medical facility.

“This does not appear to be a random act of violence,” according to police Lt. Charles Husted.

Police detectives remained on the scene investigating the incident until past 1 a.m., according to witnesses who live nearby.

Police said the suspects were possibly on foot and likely fled the scene in a vehicle. No suspect or suspect vehicle information was available at press time.

Gang detectives have been notified of the incident, police spokesperson Michele Gigante said.
