Overview
- Police responded to reports of gunfire in the parking lot by the Boardwalk’s Casino Arcade entrance after 9 p.m. on Monday and secured the area.
- Authorities said at least five shots were fired but no one was struck and there were no reported injuries.
- Video and witness posts showed a heavy police presence and chaotic evacuations of rides and lines as visitors sheltered or left the park.
- No arrests had been made as of the latest update and the Santa Cruz Police Investigations Unit is actively probing the incident and asking witnesses to call 831-420-5995 with information.
- The Boardwalk is a busy summer attraction, so investigators say the case could prompt extra patrols and security changes while detectives work to identify suspects and motives.
