Following Tulare’s second homicide of the year Thursday afternoon, another shooting erupted in the city, injuring three people, Thursday night, the Tulare Police Department said.
The shooting occurred on the 200 block of south I Street around 8:40 p.m., Tulare Police Sgt. Richard House said. Two women and one man sustained gunshot wounds to their legs.
The three victims were in their late teens to early 20s, House said. They were taken by ambulance to hospitals in the Tulare area.
Investigators are looking into a possible connection between the shooting and another shooting earlier Thursday evening, House said. The proximity of the two incidents — four blocks — and the age group of the victims makes a connection possible, he said.
The condition of the three victims is currently unknown.

The move comes in response to Lord Justice Jackson’s review of civil litigation costs, which was commissioned by the former Master of the Rolls Anthony Clarke in 2008.
Under the plans put forward the MoJ will roll back the Woolf reforms introduced by the Labour Government in 1999 and bring in a raft of new measures aimed at speeding up the court experience in favour of reducing costs.
