The Sacramento Police Department is investigating a shooting that left one adult male fatally injured.

On Saturday, June 15, 2013, at 11:31 a.m., officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 6600 block of Mack Road.   Upon arrival responding officers located three subjects that had been shot.  Two of the injured were transported to an area hospital to be treated for non-life threatening gunshot wounds.  The third victim, a male Black adult in his twenties, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.
