Triple shooting at Vallejo gas station leaves 2 dead, 1 injured

A shooting at a Vallejo gas station left two men dead and a third wounded.

It happened at the Royal Gas Station at Tennessee and Sonoma Boulevard about 10:50 p.m. Sunday.

Officers arrived and found three men suffering from gunshot wounds. One man died at the scene. A second died at a hospital. The third victim was taken to a hospital.

Vallejo police have not determined a motive and are trying to find the gunman.

The shooting was caught on surveillance video. A gas-station customer who saw the video said the victims were standing near some gas pumps when someone fired at them from a nearby street corner.

Neighbors said the area is long known as a trouble spot. 

"I don't come here and get gas at night, that's for sure," Mac Lawson said. "Just a bunch of criminal elements, hookers, drug deals, just things you don't want around your family."
