Shooting at party at Clovis rental home sends 40-plus people running for cover

Bethany Clough

Gunfire sent more than 40 people at a party at a Clovis rental home running for cover, police reported.

Police received several 911 calls about gunshots just before 11 p.m. Friday in the 400 block of West Antonio Drive, near Ashlan and Peach avenues.

No one was injured.

Clovis Police said the home was an Airbnb rental, but an Airbnb representative said the home did not have a reservation that night through the company. Airbnb does not allow parties in its rental homes.

The home is also available for rent on other rental websites.

The partygoers were running and driving away from the scene when police arrived. Clovis Police officers used a drone and a K-9 dog in the investigation and interviewed as many people as they could.

No one was arrested at the time, but a case for felony assault with a firearm has been started.

The owner of the home is cooperating.

Officers are asking anyone with information about the shooting to call Valley Crime Stoppers at 559-498-STOP, submit an anonymous tip on the mobile Clovis Police app, or call the department’s Crime Tipline at 559-324-2459.
