Two people shot on West Curtis in Salinas

Two people were shot just outside a home on the 200 block of West Curtis St.

“It appears that the suspect got out of the vehicle and then fired at the victims that were standing in front of a residence,” Salinas Police Sergeant Dana Cornelison said.

Salinas police said a man, 26, and woman, 20, suffered gunshot wounds to the arms and legs. They were taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police don’t have any suspect information yet, but believe two people were involved, a driver and a shooter. A newer white Ford Fusion was seen leaving the area.

“I’ve got officers from south and east. Officers that are here on special overtime assignments and dropping what they’re doing to come help out,” Cornelison said.

Police are investigating whether this is gang-related.
