CARLSBAD, Calif. (KGTV) — Three people were treated for gunshot wounds and one person was taken into custody in Carlsbad following a shooting Saturday morning.

Carlsbad Police responded to calls of shots fired at the Pacific View Apartment Homes complex in the 5100 block of Whitman Way just before 6 a.m.

Police later located another man with a gunshot wound in the apartment complex. He too was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Carlsbad detectives were on the scene Saturday investigating the shooting. They believe the three knew each other and the shooting was not a random act.

Police said one person is in custody but did not say whether that person was one of the three who were shot. Investigators don't believe there are any outstanding suspects.
