August 6, 2021 (La Mesa) – Two masked men reportedly armed with handguns broke into a home in the 7600 block of Eastridge Drive in La Mesa last night around 9:21 and struck a resident who was home at the time.
La Mesa Police officers responded to a call from the reporting party, who was monitoring cameras and saw two subjects break into the residence. When officers arrived, they located the injured resident, who said both suspects had been armed with handguns and fled out the back toward Seattle Drive.
