Authorities arrested the alleged gunman who shot and wounded two people in Temecula on Sunday. 

It happened at around 1:45 a.m. on Sunday, in a parking lot in the 27000 block of Jefferson Avenue, according to the Riverside County Sheriff's Department. 

Deputies dispatched to the scene arrived to find two men suffering from gunshot wounds. They were both taken to a nearby hospital for treatment where they are said to be in stable condition.
