It's the fall of 2017 in Rancho to Hama, California.

A man and his wife are driving to a doctor's appointment when another car crashes into them,

sending them flying off the road.

Disoriented, they stumble out of the car only to hear dozens of gunshots whizzing past

them.

This is just a chapter of a much larger nightmare unraveling in their small town.

From Wondery, this is actually happening as a podcast that features extraordinary true

stories of life-changing events told by the people who lived them.

In a special five-part series called Point Blank, this is actually happening Sheds of Light

on the forgotten spree killings of Rancho to Hama, where a lone gunman devastated a small

town in Northern California, attacking eight different locations in a span of only 25

minutes.

Overshadowed by the Las Vegas shooting that dominated the headlines just weeks earlier, this small

community quickly faded from view and was left alone to pick up the pieces.

Point Blank gives you five intimate first-person accounts of what happened that day, from

a father that drew the gunman away from the local school to the sister of the shooter.

These are riveting stories that will stick with you long after you listen, exploring the

question, what happens when everything changes.

I'm about to play a clip of Point Blank from this is actually happening.
