CITRUS HEIGHTS (CBS13) — One person died and another was injured after two 20-year-old men shot at each other in a Citrus Heights apartment complex on Monday night.
The shooting happened just before 11 p.m. in the area of Birdcage Street off Greenback Lane. According to a Citrus Heights Police Department statement, multiple people called 911 to report the shooting, and when officers arrived at the scene, they found a 20-year-old man in the walkway of the complex suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to the hospital to be treated for critical injuries.
