The SAPD has issued additional information about one of the shootings we reported about earlier today.
In this latest incident a person was shot around noon today, in what is being called a possible gang-related attack, at the 1400 block of West 10th St., according to the O.C. Register.
One person was struck in the chest by a bullet and was taken to a local hospital in an unknown condition. The police did not release the name of the victim and no description of the attackers was announced.
This latest shooting occurred just south of Santa Ana College and Wilson Elementary School, in Santa Ana’s Ward 5, which is represented by Councilman Roman Reyna.
