Watsonville police officer Chance Denecke photographs a bullet at the Sunny Meadows apartment complex Wednesday after two men reportedly carjacked a vehicle. WPD spokeswoman Michelle Pulido said a victim told police two suspects took a Mercedes Benz 250 sedan just after 2pm from him and fired at least two shots from a black semi-automatic handgun before fleeing the sprawling Sunny Meadows apartments near Freedom Elementary School. Police from multiple agencies were unable to spot the car. No injuries were reported.
