Both of the victims are in critical condition, as per reports.

"Two people shot at a Gurudwara in Sacramento County, California. Both of the victims are in critical condition. The shooting is not related to a hate crime, it is a shootout between two men who knew each other," Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said.

Three people were involved in a fistfight that escalated into a shooting.

Sacramento County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Amar Gandhi said "suspect 2" was down when "suspect 1" shot suspect 2's friend. Suspect 2 then shot suspect 1 and ran off.

"All participants in that altercation seemed to have known each other. This seems to have stemmed from something far before this," he added.

One of the suspects is described as an Indian male while the other suspected shooter is in the hospital, the police official said.
