The Antioch Police Department is currently investigating two shootings that occurred Christmas Day on separate sides of the city which left two people wounded.

The first shooting occurred at 1:45 pm on the 4300 Block of Rock Island Dr. off Deer Valley Road where a man was walking with two other friends when they were confronted by three male suspects that drove up on them in a vehicle.

The suspects exited the vehicle and one of them demanded some jewelry that was being worn. The victim intervened to prevent the jewelry from being taken and the suspect produced a weapon.

The victim was shot once in the upper chest area. The victim was transported to the hospital for treatment while the suspects fled the area in an unknown type vehicle.

The second shooting occurred at 3:00 pm on the 400 block of West 19th Street when a 19-year-old male was walking and confronted by unknown subjects in a vehicle. The victim was then shot in the lower leg area and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. The subjects fled in an unknown vehicle type.

Both victims are expected to survive and the incidents are believed to be unrelated.

If anyone has any information related to these incidents, they are encouraged to call the Antioch Police Department non-emergency line at (925) 778-2441. They may also text an anonymous tip to 274637 (CRIMES) using key word ANTIOCH in the body of the text.

Too many Grinches this year. Why do these stupid entitlement jerks keep robbing and shooting each other? On Christmas too! Can’t they take at least a holiday break from being scumbags. When you pay people to do nothing they become restless. We need to stop this free welfare crap and make people work for welfare. Free government booze, cigarettes, housing, credit cards, health care, and phones. Way to go Obama. This will stop them from killing and robbing people. Make them work and be busy productive people, not welfare dependent spoiled jerks.

Obama, welfare was made along time ago. Go Educate yourself. We sat 8 years through the Bush administration & what did he did to close up borders or reduce welfare. Nothing, none of them do. If you had any brains you would realize there is a bigger picture to get rid of the middle class. It’s not Obama, it’s much much bigger & has been in the works for a very long time. Educate yourself before your spew none sense.

You really don’t have a g’damn clue about welfare, do you?

Are you aware of the guidelines? The lifetime limits? Are you aware that many who receive foodstamps, as an example, are working people who simply don’t make enough to survive? Walmart’s business model(one of many big corps) is based on the fact it expects it’s employees to use those social services. It’s effectively corporate welfare. But smile while you’re buying all that cheap imported crap. Because you’re paying for it at the register AND you’re paying for it via social programs. You’re just not smart enough to have figured it out yet.

Many who receive assistance are the elderly and close to a million of them are Veterans. Some of the folks who people like you want to deny a living wage, and in fact, want to remove the floor that is the current minimum wage so you can drive them even deeper into poverty.

Please explain in your bubba-logic about how cutting all those people off and making them even more isolated and desperate is going to solve the problem. Since there are right now 3 applicants for every available job, do tell how eliminating assistance is going to force those people to work. Your explanation should be a hoot.

Great Christmas spirit from the uneducated who get their reality from a Fox News stooge or Glenn Beck.

So you think the elderly and vets are the problems here? Get a clue clueless. People on here are talking about the scumbags that work the system and don’t work by choice.These are the target problem makers, not elderly and veterans. Geesh.
