Shoot out with police leads from Shasta Lake and ends in Redding California, expect road closures...

A shooting in the City of Shasta Lake Tuesday evening led to a high speed pursuit across multiple jurisdictions before ending in an officer involved shooting near Cypress Avenue and Hartnell Avenue in Redding.

The suspect, identified as 32 year old Reese Colton Churulich, was struck by officers' gunfire after authorities say he opened fire on pursuing officers. Both the suspect and a woman injured in the initial shooting were transported to local hospitals.

The incident prompted an investigation by the Shasta County Multi Agency Officer Involved Critical Incident Response Team (OICIRT), with several major intersections closed Wednesday morning as investigators continued processing the scene.

Initial Shooting Reported in Shasta Lake

According to a media release from the Shasta County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a residence in the 3000 block of Los Gatos Avenue in the City of Shasta Lake at approximately 7:54 p.m. on Tuesday, November 3rd.

Authorities received a report that an adult woman had been struck by gunfire and that the suspected shooter had fled the residence in a vehicle.

Responding deputies located the suspect's vehicle traveling east on Fort Peck Street and initiated a pursuit. The pursuit reached excessive speeds and crossed multiple jurisdictions.

A Be On The Lookout (BOLO) notification was issued to surrounding law enforcement agencies, and numerous officers from other agencies responded to assist.

According to the Sheriff's Office, the suspect fired at pursuing officers multiple times during the chase.

Pursuit Ends in Officer Involved Shooting in Redding

The pursuit eventually entered Redding and came to an end in the area of Cypress Avenue and Hartnell Avenue.

Authorities reported that officers successfully performed a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver to stop the suspect's vehicle.

Following the maneuver, the suspect reportedly exited his vehicle and began firing at officers.

An officer involved shooting followed, during which Churulich was struck by officers' gunfire. He was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital for medical treatment.

The adult woman injured during the initial shooting in Shasta Lake was also transported to a hospital. According to the Sheriff's Office, no law enforcement officers were injured.

Road Closures Affect Wednesday Morning Commute

As investigators continue examining the scene, the Redding Police Department announced several hard road closures in the area.

The following intersections were announced as closed:

• Cypress Avenue at Beverly Drive
• Cypress Avenue at Parkview Avenue
• Hartnell Avenue at Henderson Road

Police stated that the closures were expected to remain in place throughout the Wednesday morning commute. Motorists traveling through central and south Redding should anticipate delays and consider alternate routes.

Possible Alternate Routes

For drivers who normally use Cypress Avenue to cross the Sacramento River, Highway 44 may provide another crossing, depending on their destination.

Drivers traveling north or south may want to consider Churn Creek Road or other major streets farther away from the investigation area.

Motorists traveling near Parkview Avenue, Beverly Drive, Henderson Road or Hartnell Avenue should be prepared for restrictions and follow directions from officers or posted traffic signs.

These are possible alternate routes, not official detours announced by the Redding Police Department. Motorists should check current road conditions before leaving.

The Redding Police Department did not provide a specific time for reopening the affected intersections in its Wednesday morning announcement.

Drivers are encouraged to allow additional travel time, avoid the investigation area and use live traffic navigation services to identify available routes.
