Sacramento police are looking for suspects in the shooting of two men on a north Sacramento street in what might have been fallout from an earlier dispute, according to authorities.
One of the men, who was shot in the torso in the shooting Monday, was the likely target, according to a Sacramento police report. The other man, who was shot in the leg, likely was an innocent bystander who tried to run away.
Both injuries were non-life-threatening, said police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong.
The incident came to the attention of police about 10:30 p.m., after they responded to a call of a man shot in the 2000 block of San Juan Road, the report states. They located the victim, a man in his 30s, and he was transported to a local hospital.
Just before that call, police had been alerted to a man shot in the leg near the 600 block of Las Palmas Avenue.
Investigating officers learned that the San Juan victim actually had been shot on Las Palmas in the same shooting that injured the other man, also in his 30s.
The man who was the likely target told police the shooting might have stemmed from an earlier argument he had with other neighbors, Leong said. No suspect descriptions were available.
