Based on reports from the Butte County Sheriff’s Office regarding the incident:
On Saturday night, September 12, 2026, at around 11:40 p.m., deputies were called to the area of V-6 Road and Oroville Bangor Highway in Oroville following reports of gunfire at a large gathering in the 2400 block of V-6 Road.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered evidence of a shooting and learned that a juvenile victim had been struck by gunfire and driven by party attendees to Oroville Hospital. Four uninvolved vehicles parked near the party were also damaged by bullets. The injured juvenile was later transferred to an out-of-area hospital for medical treatment.
