Man arrested on numerous weapons charges in Pittsburg
PITTSBURG — A 27-year-old man suspected of illegally making and selling guns, including assault weapons, was arrested, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office said.
The law enforcement agency said they will be testing the weapons to see if they are linked to any crime or shooting.
The suspect, identified as Diego Vasquez-Gomez, was arrested on Thursday (Jan 2.) when detectives from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office served a search warrant at a residence in Pittsburg. This was part of an ongoing investigation into a shooting at the Contra Costa Fairground in Antioch last September.
The shooting stemmed from an argument in which two suspects opened fire, resulting in a man suffering life-threatening injuries.
Detectives said one of the two suspects had used an illegally manufactured gun during the shooting.
During the search at Vasquez-Gomez’s home, authorities found assault weapons and a short-barrel rifle. Some of the weapons seized did not have serial numbers.
“The weapons will be tested to see if they are linked to any shooting or crimes,” said the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office in a news release.
Vasquez-Gomez was booked into the Martinez Detention Facility on charges including manufacturing a short barrel gun, manufacturing and selling of an assault weapon, illegal possession of an assault weapon, unlicensed transfer of a firearm and child endangerment.
Those with information on the case are urged to contact the Investigation Division at (925) 313- 2600, email them at tips@so.cccounty.us, or call (866) 846-3592 to leave an anonymous voice message.
Snow is making its way to the Pittsburgh area, but the question on everyone’s mind is how much snow will be on the ground by Thursday evening.
The KDKA Weather Center has looked at the data and mapped out a timeline for when snow is expected to fall across the area.
When will it start snowing?
By 10 p.m. on Wednesday, a strong surface cold front will arrive along the Interstate 79 corridor and the Pittsburgh metro, resulting in a changeover to snow and rapidly falling temperatures.
It is unlikely road surfaces will dry up in time before the sharp temperature drop, so a flash freeze is possible on untreated surfaces on Wednesday night. The heaviest snow will shift to mainly the northwest and northern counties after midnight, but lake-effect snow showers and terrain-enhanced snow are likely to continue through most of Thursday afternoon and evening.
How much snow will western Pennsylvania get?
Total snow accumulations through Thursday evening will range from 1 to 2 inches for the Pittsburgh metro area, 2 to 4 inches from roughly Route 422 north to Interstate 80 in the Laurel Highlands and ridges, and less than 1 inch from Washington southwest into northern West Virginia.
Some of the northernmost counties could see 4 to 6 inches of snow with the lake-enhanced activity and in peaks of the Laurel Highlands and ridges.
More snow this weekend
High pressure will lead to a short-duration break in the snow Thursday night into Friday morning, but another fast-moving disturbance will lead to more snow showers Friday afternoon and evening, especially over the northern portions of the Pittsburgh area.
An additional series of disturbances will lead to more snow showers Saturday and Sunday, but these will be moving fairly quickly and produce nothing more than light amounts of snow.
Cold temperatures next week
A fresh surge of Arctic air will move in from the northwest on Monday night into Tuesday. High temperatures will likely remain in the teens, with lows in the single digits on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings.
