UPDATE, 1:40 p.m.: Captain Steve Watson of the Eureka Police Department, speaking at the scene, said that one identified suspect, whose name is not being released at this time, is still being sought in connection with this incident.

Watson said it is believed that the suspect fired one shot into the ground at a home on the 1600 block of Union, then fled north on Union in a sedan. No one is believed to have been injured.

Watson said that the people associated with the house are known to law enforcement.

It’s been a busy day for the EPD. In addition to the bank robbery earlier in the day, there was a stolen vehicle report, with the owner of the vehicle chasing the suspect, and another report of shots fired across town. One person has been taken into custody in the former case; Watson said that his understanding currently is that the latter case was not as reported.
