The gunfire erupted Saturday around 9 p.m. at a gathering in a residential block of Hollister, according to the San Benito County Sheriff’s Office.
The three survivors were airlifted to a hospital in critical condition, KION-TV reported.
The television station identified the two dead men as Jamie Jesus Gomez, 23, and Daniel Eli Gonzalez, 21, both of Hollister.
