SACRAMENTO, Calif. — One person is dead after a shooting in the North Highlands area, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office. 

The sheriff's office tweeted around 10:30 a.m. about a "heavy police presence" at the intersection of Watt Ave. and Antelope Road.

Sergeant Rodney Grassmann, Public Information Officer for the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, said that the office received calls from bystanders saying that they heard shots outside of the Food Maxx. When deputies arrived, they found a man slumped over in his car. Officials pronounced him dead at the scene.

Doug Barton, General Manager at Aaron's Furniture Store, says he saw paramedics try to perform CPR and other life-saving measures for the man who was shot.
