Police activity closed West Lodi Avenue and Church Street Monday morning after a neighboring business owner reported hearing gunshots coming from inside a McDonald’s. The call came in around 10:15 a.m., and officers quickly blocked off the intersection. Witnesses in the area told reporters they heard sounds they believed were shots, but police have not yet confirmed those reports or released any details about what prompted the response.
The closure is affecting traffic in a busy part of Lodi, and officials are asking the public to avoid the area while the investigation continues. Lodi PD has not said whether anyone was injured, what they’re looking for, or how long the scene will remain active. KCRA 3 has reached out to police for more information and is waiting to hear back.
This remains a developing story, and more details will be shared as they become available. For now, if you have to travel through that part of Lodi, plan an alternate route and expect delays. Do you think police should be more transparent during active investigations, or is it better for them to stay quiet until they have all the facts? Let us know in the comments.
