Three men were shot early Sunday after a fight erupted in the 2700 block of Sheldon Court, Richmond police said.

Two of the victims were critically injured, the third was stable and all three were treated at John Muir Medical Center, said Richmond police Lt. Michael Booker.

The 1:35 a.m. shootings occurred after a physical altercation, Booker said. Besides the shooting victims, another man had been hit in the head, he said.

Two other shootings occurred shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday in the 2400 block of Maricopa Avenue, Booker said.

Officers patrolling in that area heard a volley of gunshots and found a man walking who had been shot in the head and jaw, Booker said. A short time later, officers found another man who had been shot in the foot and shoulder, he said. Both were treated at John Muir Medical Center. Officers also found an abandoned vehicle that had been shot numerous times.
