Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station deputies who responded to a report of a shooting called in to 911 around 1 p.m. Thursday in Canyon Country did not find any evidence of it, officials said.
The caller indicated in the initial information that was broadcast that at least five gunshots were heard in the area, near Jakes Way, according to Deputy Robert Jensen, spokesman for the SCV Sheriff’s Station.
The person also described the clothing of a suspect who reportedly was seen running from the same area near the 18000 block of Grace Lane, he added.
Deputies responded to the area but later confirmed no victim or indication of gunfire was found.
Residents had been asked to avoid the area if possible while the investigation was underway.
