CASTRO VALLEY, Calif. (KCBS) -- Alameda County sheriff's deputies are still searching for a teenager who allegedly fired a weapon at a neighbor's house this morning in an unincorporated area near Hayward. The police were briefly in standoff mode until after 4 p.m. when they entered the house and found no one inside.
Alameda County sheriff's spokesman J.D. Nelson told KCBS that at about 11 this morning police were alerted to three to five rounds fired at a home near the intersection of Kelly and Byron streets.
"Ten minutes after 11 a.m. we responded to a call of shots fired here and we came to find out that a 17-year-old male had fired three to five rounds at his neighbors house and we don't know exactly why he did that," said Sgt. Nelson.
No one was hit by the gunfire and the motive is still unknown.
"We've taken steps to contact him, we made attempts to phone inside the house, but there's no answer. We're using other methods to try to track him down," Nelson added.
A few surrounding homes had been evacuated as the special response team continues their search.
