One person is dead following a shooting and a crash near the March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County Tuesday morning.
Details about what exactly happened were limited, but it all unfolded around 6:45 a.m. near 2nd and Z streets.
The Riverside County Sheriff's Department said it responded to a call of an assault with a deadly weapon in the area. When deputies responded, CHP personnel told them that there was a two-car crash and both drivers were taken to the hospital in critical condition.
