SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — A 56-year-old man is dead after a shooting in an apartment in Sacramento County Thursday morning.

The shooting happened around 6 a.m. in the 7000 block of Stockton Boulevard. 

According to Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, two men who appeared to know each other got into an argument and then they shot each other. 

A 56-year-old man was shot in the chest and torso area and a 49-year-old man was shot in the neck area. They were both taken to a hospital.

The man who was shot in the chest and torso area died in the hospital, according to Gandhi. 

The sheriff's office said Julian Brooks was arrested on suspicion of homicide. Brooks was the man who was shot in the neck.

He says the three overnight shootings that left two people dead are not connected.

"All three are completely independent of each other. None of the parties knew each other — completely unrelated," said Gandhi.
