A Friday afternoon shooting near a barbershop on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Stockton sent six men to the hospital, police said.
Officers responded around 2 p.m. to reports of a shooting in the 500 block of West MLK, Stockton Police Department spokesman Omer Edhah said.
Police discovered half a dozen men between the ages of 19 and 48 had been struck by gunfire and had taken personal transportation to a nearby hospital, Edhah said. During the incident, numerous shots were fired into the front of Frontline Barbershop, near the corner of MLK and Lincoln Street, he said.
No one answered the phone at the barbershop, and several nearby business owners and residents said they either did not see the shooting or did not want to discuss the incident.
Police said all six victims are in stable condition with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening. No one has been arrested, but police are searching for a sedan that may be linked to the shooting, Edhah said.
Parts of MLK Way were briefly closed to traffic as police evidence technicians examined the scene. By Friday night, all lanes of the road had been reopened.
Police did not release the names of any of the victims, nor any information about a possible motive in the shooting.
