November 9, 2013 (El Cajon) – An argument between several men in an El Cajon parking lot ended in gunfire last night, with a bullet striking a woman in her 20s. One of three children in the vehicle was also injured by broken glass.
Deputies from the Santee Sheriff’s station responded at 5:09 p.m. to a report of shots fired at 340 East Bradley Avenue in unincorporated El Cajon. The woman, seated in an SUV at Graves and Bradley, had a bullet wound in her shoulder and a child was struck in the arm by shattered glass. Paramedics from Lakeside Fire took the woman to a hospital, where she was treated for a non-life threatening wound.
Deputies investigating the crime learned that the suspect was described as a black male in his late teens or early twenties, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black shorts. He was reportedly arguing with two other men in their early twenties. The suspect walked across Bradley Avenue and began firing a semi-automatic handgun in the direction of the two men. The white SUV was pulling into the parking lot when the woman, a passenger, was struck in the shoulder by a bullet, according to witnesses, said Sergeant Scott Sterner with the San Diego Sheriff.
