The shooting occurred about 6:15 p.m in the 21000 block of Bay Avenue. One victim died at the scene. A second was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said.
While investigators were at the scene, they discovered a third victim who had run to a nearby store after he was wounded, Deputy Melissa Nieburger said.
The man was taken to a hospital. His condition was not known.
No suspects were in custody. Detectives were at the scene Thursday night interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence.
