The shooting left two men in critical condition last week, when shots rang out on one of the city's busiest streets.
An argument turned shooting in Hemet was caught on camera last week, raising more concerns in a city that has seen a troubling increase in violent crime. The shooting happened on Wednesday, August 14 at around 3:20 p.m. when officers were sent to the 900 block of W. Florida Avenue in regards to reports that two people had been shot in the area, according to a statement from the Hemet Police Department. They arrived to find both victims, adult males, suffering from gunshot wounds.
Moments later, gunfire is heard again and the shooter can be seen as they flee from the area. 'You see them wrestling, you see them going off, you don't know how many guns are involved,' Ramos said. 'Obviously if they're yelling at each other.'Armando Alvarez, the owner of Vero's, says that the shooting was a shock and that something needs to be done citywide to help curb the increase in crime. 'It's a busy, scary street right here,' he said.
