Apparent target unhurt after gunshots outside Concord store

A shooting near a 7-Eleven on Olivera Road in Concord damaged a car but did not hit any people Tuesday night, police said.

CONCORD — A man standing outside a 7-Eleven missed being hit by gunfire that hit the side of a car Tuesday night, police said.

None of the businesses in the area were damaged by the gunfire, either, but police found several shell casings afterward. The shooting happened in the area of Olivera Road and Welch Court.

Police were called to the scene around 10 p.m. and found the man who had been the target of the gunfire, Concord police spokeswoman Corp. Summer Galer said. That man told officers that he was standing outside the 7-Eleven on Olivera Road when an unknown person shouted.

The shots began flying. The man ran toward the end of Welch Court and was not hit, Galer said.

The man could not provide a description of the man who fired the shots, Galer said. The car that was hit was on Welch Court. The bullet casings were found on the sidewalk on Olivera Road.
