RANCHO CORDOVA — A search is underway for two possible suspects after a man was shot in Rancho Cordova, authorities said Tuesday night.

The Sacramento County Sheriff's Office said the man was shot in the back around 7:20 p.m. at an apartment complex along Coloma Road.

He was then taken to an area hospital in a private vehicle.

The sheriff's office said the suspects are believed to have left the scene on foot before deputies and officers from the Rancho Cordova Police Department arrived. No suspect descriptions were available.

At least 10 shell casings were found at the scene, authorities noted.

A second gunshot victim, also a man, arrived at a different hospital nearby around the same time, but the sheriff's office said it was not yet clear if this was related.

Both men are expected to survive.

Anyone with information related to the Coloma Road shooting is urged to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office or the Rancho Cordova Police Department.
