The person who confronted the two people “miraculously” was not injured despite the flurry of shots, according to a statement from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office.

It happened about 3:30 a.m. Monday in the 700 block of Via Manzanas in an unincorporated part of the county. Several rounds of bullets hit the victim’s residence and hit several interior walls.
