SACRAMENTO, CA - Three people were shot at two different south Sacramento neighborhoods Wednesday night.

A drive-by shooting happened on the 3600 block of 46th Avenue around 8:30 p.m. where one person was injured. Residents in the area reported hearing dozens of gunshots within a 50 to 60 yard stretch.

"All of a sudden it was like an action movie. I just hit the ground. I had to dive out of my chair and hit the ground and crawl up to my front door. Bullets were flying everywhere," said a still-sobbing Deborah Gilmore, who is confined to a wheelchair.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department said the victim was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

About an hour-and-a-half later, two people were wounded at an apartment complex near 50th Avenue and Livingston Way, a little more than a mile away from the earlier shooting. Residents reported hearing three to four gunshots, and then another three to four gunshots.
