SACRAMENTO - Two people are hospitalized after a shooting in Sacramento on Sunday afternoon.

The situation appears to have started with a verbal confrontation at 40th Avenue and Martin Luther King Blvd.

According to a witness, a car was making a u-turn at the intersection when a stranger on the sidewalk yelled obscenities to a woman in the car.

The car pulled over and the husband of the woman confronted the man. The dispute escalated and the man pulled out a gun and allegedly shot the husband.

Nearby was a vehicle carrying relatives of the victim. They confronted the shooter, taking the gun and attacking him.

According to Sacramento Sheriff Jason Ramos, the husband sustained a non-life threatening gunshot wound to his hand. The alleged shooter was hospitalized for severe facial injuries.

So far no arrests have been made.
