Two people were shot Friday evening in an incident that Fairfield police say may be gang related and not a random act.

A 21-year-old victim is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries to the head, police said. The second victim, age 20, is hospitalized with moderate injuries that are not considered life threatening.

A firearm was recovered at the scene, but no suspects have been identified yet, police said.
