The Kern County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting that hit Pacific Gas & Electric equipment Saturday near Kurt Road and Corcoran Road in Wasco, according to KCSO officials.

No injuries have been reported as a result of the shooting, but it prompted a hazardous material spill update after the damages to the transmission equipment resulted in hundreds of gallons of mineral and polychlorinated biphenyls leaking onto nearby soil. The transformers contained less than 1 part per million of PCBs.Â
