(KRON) — Two loaded firearms were found on the set of a music video being filmed in Vallejo —one gun without a serial number and another that was registered to someone not at the scene, said the Vallejo Police Department.
VPD said they were notified of the incident around 11:34 p.m. on August 8 when officers responded to 911 calls reporting gunshots heard in the 100 block of Larissa Lane. While heading to the location, police also received reports of “a large group of people filming a music video, with multiple individuals seen carrying firearms.”
When Vallejo PD arrived, officers said they discovered and detained the aforementioned large group before conducting a search of the area. That’s when police said officers spotted two loaded firearms in clear view on the backseat of a nearby vehicle.
“Officers also conducted pat-down searches of the individuals in the group to ensure everyone’s safety,” said police in a social media post. “During these searches, they discovered that one male associated with the group was carrying an unregistered, loaded firearm equipped with a large magazine tucked in his waistband. The armed suspect, who resided in San Francisco, was immediately arrested.”
Police said the man was taken to Solano County Jail and booked on several fire-arm related charges. Investigators confirmed that a total of three firearms were recovered at the scene as police evidence.
“As part of the investigation, officers obtained surveillance footage showing multiple individuals with firearms before police arrival,” added Vallejo police. “Those subjects fled the scene before the officers arrived.”
