2 men killed, woman wounded in shooting at Stockton flea market
Witnesses said the shooting stemmed from a robbery, but police have not confirmed that detail.
STOCKTON, Calif. - Two men were killed and a woman was injured in a shooting at the Stockton Flea Market on Sunday afternoon.
What we know:
Stockton Police Department officers were sent about noon on Sunday to the 2500 block of South El Dorado Street on reports of a shooting, according to a department statement.
At the scene, police found the two men dead and a woman in her 50s suffering a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. She was taken to a hospital for treatment.
What we don't know:
Police did not say what led to the shooting, nor did they confirm that the shooting occurred at the flea market – which is open every weekend at 2542 S. El Dorado St.
However, a jewelry store vendor near the market said that a robbery occurred in the moments leading up to the shooting, and that his son came face-to-face with the alleged thieves.
"I saw one running, and he had the gun on him and pointed, so I threw myself on the floor," said Salvador Cervantes, owner of Cervantes Jewelry. "I didn’t get to see who fired first, because… there’s a wall at the back of the store."
Police did not say who shot the three, and an investigation is ongoing.
