ELK GROVE, Calif. — Two teenagers were hurt after a shooting in Sacramento County.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said the shooting happened at Summer Sky Drive and Bastien Court, an area not far from Florin High School. Deputies responded after getting reports of a shooting around 3:40 p.m.
A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said the teens had non-life-threatening injuries to the lower body and were taken to the hospital. They were only described as boys.
Few details are available regarding what led up to the shooting at this time. Captain Todd Henry, with the sheriff's office, said they're still looking for suspect, but don't know who shot the unarmed victims at this point.
“Obviously, it was a pretty traumatic event for these two teenagers. They weren’t able to provide a lot of information to the initial responding deputies as to who else was involved in the incident,” Capt. Henry said.
Henry added that the teenagers could be around 17 years old and appeared to be students at Florin High School.
The shooting caused a temporary lockdown at the nearby school, according to the Elk Grove Union School District.
No suspect information has been released at this time. The investigation is ongoing, but Capt. Henry said there is nothing that indicates a threat to the neighborhood at this time.
"It hurts to think that these were kids"
Neighbors were in shock after the shooting unfolded and left to wonder how something like this could have happened near their homes.
"It hurts. It hurts to think that these were kids… that right out here a few feet away that someone was hurt," said Shana Mangal, a mother in the neighborhood.
Mangal couldn't help thinking that it could have happened to one of her girls.
"It very well could have been my daughter just hanging out, waiting for me to pick her up and end up getting caught in a crossfire, in a situation like this," she said.
Other neighbors are left struggling to make sense of a senseless situation.
"A lot of young people are taking lives and doing things under peer pressure, or people don’t know how to talk things out anymore," said Roman, another neighborhood who only provided his first name.
He originally thought it was kids playing with fireworks but later learned it was far more serious.
"It just shows that it can happen anywhere," he said.
