Two people were shot in Antioch, causing them to be hospitalized.

On a seemingly quiet Saturday night, chaos erupted on the 2100 block of Peppertree Way in Antioch. According to the local police department, two individuals were injured in a shooting that took place shortly after 9 p.m. The officers swiftly responded to reports of gunfire and arrived at the scene to provide assistance.

One of the victims, a 47-year-old man, had suffered a gunshot wound and was in need of urgent medical attention. The officers quickly sprang into action, providing first aid until paramedics arrived. The victim was then rushed to the hospital and is currently listed in stable but critical condition. The other victim, a 20-year-old man, also sustained a gunshot wound and managed to transport himself to a nearby hospital. Thankfully, he is expected to survive.

After conducting an investigation of the area, the police determined that the two injuries were related. As of now, the identities of both victims and suspects are being withheld for safety reasons. The shooting took place in the Sycamore Drive corridor, located north of Highway 4. This area has unfortunately become a hot spot for gun violence in the East Bay suburb.

The city of Antioch has been struggling to combat the rise in gun violence in recent weeks. In fact, earlier this month, Mayor Lamar Thorpe requested an additional $500,000 in funding to increase police presence, especially in the Sycamore Drive corridor. This area has been plagued by over 22 shootings since the beginning of the year. The local officials are determined to find a solution to this ongoing issue.

If anyone has any information or tips regarding the shooting, they are urged to contact the Antioch Police Department’s investigations bureau at 925-779-6884. The police department is relying on the community's support to bring justice to the victims and hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions. Together, we can make our neighborhoods safer and prevent future acts of violence.
