UKIAH // On September 5th just before 7 PM, Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived at the intersection of Portlock Lane and Lake Mendocino Drive after a report of three young men shot.
There, they discovered that two 17-year-olds and one 18-year-old had all been shot at least once by “three young Hispanic males, either in their late teens or early twenties.” All three victims appeared to have been shot while walking along Lake Mendocino Drive.
All were taken to hospital for medical attention. The Sheriff’s Department reports that the victims “appear to be uncooperative.”
It is unknown whether there was more than one shooter, nor is it known whether they fired from a vehicle or on foot.
Police believe the shooting appears to be gang-related.
