Two people, including a Menlo Park man, were injured in a shooting in East Palo Alto on Saturday night, according to police.
Officers responded to an activation of the Shot Spotter gunshot detection system at 2535 Farrington St. at about 10:05 p.m., according to East Palo Alto police.
Arriving officers found an 18-year-old Menlo Park man in the front yard suffering from a gunshot wound. He told police that another shooting victim was inside the house.
During a search of the residence, police found a 19-year-old East Palo Alto man who had been shot. The two victims were taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.
A preliminary investigation revealed that two gunmen had walked up and fired as many as 30 rounds into the house, police said. The shooters fled on foot and were possibly picked up by a dark sedan.
No arrests have been made. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the East Palo Alto police tip line at (650) 409-6792.
What’s going on? Seems like gun violence is escalating in EPA and E Menlo.
State effort to cut costs = release prisoners. Lots of gang leaders back out on the street who shouldn’t be.
