Police Reopen Roads But Continue Search For Shooters In Roseville
California police are still searching for two men suspected of firing shots in a Roseville neighborhood after an unsuccessful manhunt led to the temporary closure of I-80 and I-65.
Roseville Police Respond To Calls About Gunfire
Several residents called police to report gunshots in the Galleria area just before 5 a.m. today. When Roseville police arrived on scene, they also reported hearing gunshots and seeing muzzle flashes.
Later, a California Highway Patrol officer reported spotting two men with long rifles disappearing into a wooded area in Antelope Creek near I-80.
Interstates Close For Hours For Manhunt

Both interstates reopened shortly after 8 a.m.
The two suspects are described as males in their 20’s. One is wearing a white shirt and the other is wearing a turquoise blue shirt.
