Two men are in custody after a AR-15 type assault rifle and shotgun were discharged inside the “We Buy Gold” shop at 3301 Middlefield Road in unincorporated San Mateo County in the presence of a child Thursday evening, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
At approximately 6:39 p.m., deputies were called to the location after receiving reports of multiple gunshots heard inside the business in the North Fair Oaks area. Deputies found the business locked and saw four men and a small child inside. Two men inside, who initially refused to open the doors, were determined to be the owners of the business, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
No one was found to be injured but deputies found firearms including automatic rifles, shotguns and handguns, expended casings and stolen computer equipment inside the business.
The child was determined to be the 3-year-old son of one of the men and released to his mother. The other two men inside the business were determined to be uninvolved in any criminal activity and released, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The men taken into custody were Pedro Aguilar-Baltazar, 23, and Jorge Conde-Cardona, 34, both of Redwood City, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
