Two men were shot and wounded early Monday in Berkeley, police said.

The shooting happened near the corner of Shattuck and Ashby avenues about 1:45 a.m. Citizens who called 911 reported hearing eight to 10 shots.

Officers found the victims at the Chevron gas station at the corner. One victim had been shot in the neck, and the other was found inside a Kia sedan, suffering from a gunshot wound to his hip, police reported.

The victims, whose names weren’t released, were taken to a local hospital. Both were expected to survive, said Officer Jennifer Coats, a Berkeley police spokeswoman.

Numerous shots also struck a nearby apartment complex and a gas and smog station, but no other injuries were reported, authorities said.

Witnesses reported that a car fled the scene. Police were investigating whether occupants from both cars had opened fire or if gunfire came from only one of the vehicles, Coats said.

The intersection was closed as officers were on scene investigating and gathering evidence.
