Just past 11 00 tuesday night police on patrol heard multiple gunshots nearby. In seconds they arrived to the 1900 block of south bonsall street to find two men on the ground suffering from from gunst wounds. A 33yearold shot in the knee and a 49yearold shot in both legs. They would later find a 65yearold man shot in the ankle. Eight shell casings were recovered nearby. We confirmed this morning that the last victim was simply a bystander caught in the crossfire. All three men were rushed to area hospitals and are in stable condition at this hour. We are told that the area near the scene is lined with businesses and as a result, police say they found several functioning surveillance cameras, one of which captured the entire shooting including images of the two shooters running away. You see two males running east on mifflin from the 1900 block of bonsall street, that they are believed to be the shooters. One of them is wearing all dark clothing. The other male is wearing lighter colored clothing. But they were both seen running east on mifflin street from bonsall. Reporter and at this point police dont have a motive.
