CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) -- Three people were hospitalized -- two with gunshot wounds -- after a shooting Wednesday night in Carlsbad.
Carlsbad Police said officers were called to Alga Road, between Xana Way and El Fuerte Street, at around 9:20 p.m. due to reports of a vehicle crash and gunfire in the area.
Responding officers arrived to find a Mercedes-Benz sedan had crashed and had bullet holes on the driver’s side door.
The driver was found alone inside with a gunshot wound to his lower body, according to police.
Police said two other victims were not in the car when officers arrived; they were later found at a local hospital, with one of them suffering from a non-life threatening gunshot wound.
The three victims, who are not from Carlsbad, are expected to survive, according to police.
As of early Thursday morning, no arrests were made and there were no details available on suspect or vehicle descriptions linked to the shooting.
According to police, “Evidence suggests that the involved vehicle was fired upon from a second vehicle and that the matter may be gang related.”
Police said there was no threat to the public.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact Carlsbad Police Det. Chris Collier at 442-339-5569.
