While deputies began investigating the shooting paramedics treated the three victims, before transporting them to area hospitals. The victim’s injuries were considered non-life threatening, according to Flores.

As yesterday’s investigation was getting underway deputies cordoned off the are of the neighborhood where the shooting happened, causing some residents to not be able to return home or leave the area until the victims were transported from the area and the crime scene had been processed.

Investigators from the Perris Sheriff’s Station, along with members of the Department’s Forensic Service Unit and other officials, soon arrived and assumed the investigation.

Investigators were later seen canvassing the neighborhood, searching for any potential witnesses or any homes that may have had home security surveillance cameras that might be able to provide information about the shooting.

All three victims were older than 30, according to Flores; who said no arrests had been made and that the Sheriff’s investigation was active and ongoing.

Anyone with information about this investigation is encouraged to contact the Perris Sheriff’s Station at (951) 210-1000. Callers can remain anonymous.
