ELK GROVE, Calif. — The Elk Grove Police Department is searching for a suspect after they say an argument turned into a shooting that injured two people Sunday.
Around 7:54 p.m. Sunday, police were called to the 8700 block of Heathermist Way for a reported shooting. At the scene, officers found a woman and a man both suffering from gunshot wounds.
Police say that the suspect, only described as a man, was in an argument with the male victim when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victims multiple times. Police believe the two men knew each other.
“This was not a random act of violence. This wasn’t someone who is just randomly targeting anyone out there. It was an isolated incident between people who are known to each other,” said Elk Grove police spokesperson Jeremy Banks.
The suspect then left the area in a car, according to police.
Arriving officers provided medical aid to the victims while personnel with Consumnes River Fire were on the way. Firefighters took the man and woman to a local hospital where they were both reported to be in stable condition.
Witnesses to the crime and others with information are asked to call the Elk Grove Police Department's Detective Bureau at (916) 478-8060.
“Investigators are going to be on top of this, and they have been working day and night. We’re hoping to close this case out,” Banks said.
