STOCKTON, CA Jan 14 2012 - Stockton police responded to a call of shots fired at the parking lot of the West Lane Bingo Hall in Stockton around 8 p.m. Thursday.

Rose said one of the suspects spotted the security guard, and reached into his waistband. The security guard ran back inside the building and two shots were fired through the door.
The suspects fled in an older model white van with a lift on the back.
Nobody was hit by gunfire, but two elderly individuals were hospitalized with anxiety related ailments, said Rose.
One vehicle in the parking lot was burglarized.
