OAKLAND — Two men were wounded Thursday afternoon after a shooting along an East Oakland corridor, authorities said.
Both men — a 23-year-old who was shot in the arm and a 28-year-old who was wounded in the leg — were in stable condition, police said.
The shooting happened shortly after 3:10 p.m. Thursday in the 8900 block of MacArthur Boulevard.
Police said the two men were part of a larger group standing outside when a man began shooting at the group.
The two men were the only ones hit by the gunfire, authorities said. They got their own transportation to a hospital.
Police have not yet determined a motive for the shooting or if the two men wounded were the intended targets.
The gunman fled in a vehicle, police said.
Multiple bullet casings were recovered at the scene and streets were blocked off while police investigated.
