Two men were shot in north Modesto late Saturday night during an altercation among several people who reportedly know one another, according to police.
At about 11:20 p.m., officers were dispatched to the SummerView Apartments complex, 3601 Prescott Road, for sounds of gunfire, Modesto Police Department spokeswoman Sharon Bear said Monday morning.
They found one man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was conscious and alert and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for treatment. He is expected to survive, Bear said.
“Through further investigation, we learned a second gunshot victim (another adult male) self-transported to a local hospital,” she said in a text. His injuries were not life-threatening.
The motive and circumstances of the shooting are being investigated, Bear said, and no suspect or suspects had been arrested as of Monday morning.
