A man and a woman with gunshot wounds in their legs showed up at a gas station in National City early Tuesday morning asking for help.

The pair came to a Shell gas station on National City Boulevard at West 33rd Street, shortly before 3 a.m., according to National City Police.

The victims were taken to a hospital for treatment of their injuries, which were not believed to be life-threatening, according to media reports.

No suspect description was available and it was not clear where the shooting occurred.

A stolen Honda Accord parked next to a gas pump at the station was impounded, and investigators were trying to determine if it was related to the shooting.
