Deputies were conducting an investigation of a shot fired into one of the dealership windows when as many as 15 rounds were fired at them. There were no injuries. The incident began at 8:45 that evening when a bullet hit a showroom window. Seven deputies and a sergeant were dispatched there. After the sergeant and four of the deputies drove away, the three remaining deputies were standing outside the dealership when a bullet passed between them. They took cover behind cars, and more bullets flew overhead. Neither the three deputies nor the dealership employees who were closing up the store when the first shot hit the window were hurt.

A field and the dry Amargosa Creek separate the apartment complex from the dealership. Deputies found 15 empty shell casings near the complex's wall.
