STOCKTON, Calif. — The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office has launched a shooting investigation after one person was sent to the hospital in Stockton.

Few details surrounding what led up to the shooting are known at this time. 

Deputies said they got reports of a shooting and a disturbance between two vehicles in the area of Telegraph and Marines avenues. One of the vehicles crashed nearly a block away into two other parked cars.

A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said initial calls into dispatch described a possible road rage incident.

Arriving deputies found the driver of the vehicle with gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital, and a spokesperson for the sheriff's office said the victim is in critical but stable condition.

When the incident happened, Berni and Antonio Baca said they were the first people on scene.

"He was shot in the head, shot in the shoulder," Berni Baca said, who also works as a Certified Nursing Assistant.

"He wasn’t talking, but his hands were moving. He would give us a thumbs up," Berni Baca added.

They said they tried to help the victim until first responders arrived.

Investigators are still collecting evidence, looking for video and information from neighbors, so they can find answers in this shooting.

No arrests have been made. Deputies are asking anyone with information on the incident to call the sheriff's office.
