At about 4:30 a.m. today, deputies responded to a "shots fired" call in the 52000 block of Calle Camacho in Coachella. When they arrived, the deputies located two males who had been shot. Both were pronounced dead at the scene, and the sheriff's Central Homicide Unit was called, said Sgt. Jim Erickson.
