EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. —

Six received injuries from a possible  gang-related shooting in East Palo Alto Sunday afternoon at a bus stop near the McDonalds on University Avenue, according to a fire official.

The incident was reported shortly after 2:45 p.m. at the McDonalds at 2401 University Ave., according to Menlo Park Fire Department Chief Harold Shapelhouman.

Firefighters arriving on the scene found six people with gunshot wounds and other injuries, four inside the restaurant and two outside, Schapelhouman said.

Police said they suspect the incident was gang-related because some of the victims had ties to gangs.

One person, an adult male in his 20s, received serious injuries and was immediately taken by ambulance to Stanford Medical Center for treatment.

Four others received gunshot wounds, including an elderly grandmother, and their injuries were less serious and mostly to their lower extremities.  

The elderly woman's 6-year-old granddaughter was not shot, but she injured her knee as she tried to run from the gunfire, Schapelhouman said.

All victims were taken to Stanford Medical Center for treatment.

Police are looking for two shooters who fled in a small vehicl
