Men, ages 19 and 37, hospitalized in El Sobrante double-shooting

Two men were injured in a double-shooting Monday in El Sobrante, officials said.

Contra Costa County sheriff’s deputies found the two men, ages 19 and 37, suffering from gunshot wounds shortly before 1 p.m. on the 600 block of El Centro Road near Lambert Road, about a block away from a cemetery, according to Jimmy Lee, a sheriff’s spokesman.

One of the men was airlifted by helicopter — usually a sign of the severity of injuries — to the John Muir Medical Center in Walnut Creek, while the other was transported by ambulance. The sheriff’s office did not release their conditions.

A suspect found at a nearby residence was taken into custody and was being interviewed Monday evening, Lee said.

Anyone with information on the shootings was asked to call (925) 313-2600 or leave a tip at (866) 846-3592.
