Gang related shooting of three teens

On 9/5/2017 around 6:39 PM, Mendocino County Sheriff Deputies were dispatched to a report of gunfire with three young males being shot at the intersection of Portlock Lane and Lake Mendocino Drive in Ukiah.  
Deputies responded to the area where they learned two 17 year old males and one 18 year old male had all been shot at least one time by what has been described as three young Hispanic males, either in their late teens or early twenties.  One victim sustained a gunshot wound to the chest, one a gunshot wound to the leg, and the third victim suffered a gunshot wound to the groin area.  The three victims appear to have been shot while walking on Lake Mendocino Drive.  All three victims were transported to various hospitals to be treated for their wounds.  Initial contacts indicate the three victims appear to be uncooperative with law enforcement.

Sheriff's Detectives were called to the scene, which is in the roadway near the above intersection.  Lake Mendocino Drive has been closed while law enforcement crime scene work is being conducted on the roadway.  At this time it is unknown if the suspects were in a vehicle or on foot.  At this time it is unknown if there was one shooter or more than one shooter.  The shooting does appear to be gang related.  The Mendocino Multi-Agency Gang Suppression Unit was called to assist the Mendocino County Sheriff's Detectives with the investigation.
