March 19, 12:30 a.m. Officers of the Antioch Police Department responded to the report of shots fired in the parking lot of Delta Bowl on 3300 Delta Fair Blvd. Upon arrival, officers found no gunshot victims, but evidence that a shootout had occurred: more than 30 expended shell casings of different calibers, apparent human blood and several cars pocked with bullet holes.

No one at the bowling alley claimed to have seen anything, but all said they heard the shootout. The bowling alley was open for business at the time.

A short time later, three adult males showed up separately at local hospitals, two suffering from gunshot wounds and one from a head injury after being pistol whipped. None of the victim’s injuries were considered life threatening, and all three subjects were uncooperative. Video surveillance of the shootout has been obtained by APD and is currently being examined by detectives.

The incident appears to have involved two groups of males and was limited to the parking lot. Those with information regarding this case should call Detective Desmond Bittner at 925-779-6939.
