From Bill Lindelof:
Elk Grove police have arrested three people on suspicion of attempted murder and robbery in the shooting of two teenagers.
Arrested by police were Jose Jauregui, 19, and two teens, ages 16 and 17 years old.
Police initially were called to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center, 9201 Big Horn Blvd, in Elk Grove where two teens were receiving treatment for gunshot wounds. The wounds were not life-threatening, said police.
A person who drove the teens to the hospital said the shooting happened near Bluefin Way and Dove Shell Way in Elk Grove, but officers who went to the location were not able to find any evidence of a crime.
However, investigators found that a 17-year-old boy was "the primary person responsible for the shooting," police said. Detectives found the teen fleeing on bicycle when they went to a home on the 4200 block of 41st Avenue near Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
Police arrested the boy and booked him into juvenile hall. A small-caliber revolver believed to have been used in the shooting was recovered at the 41st Avenue home, police said.
Detectives also learned that Jauregui and a 16-year-old boy might also be connected to the same shooting and robbery. They arrested Jauregui and the teen at a home on the 6200 block of Di Lusso Drive in Elk Grove.
Detectives said the shooting was not gang-related. Robbery appears to be the motive, and police say they believe the victims and the suspects know each other.
