One of four victims of drive-by shootings in San Diego was in critical condition and another possibly blinded, officials said. Chris Honeycutt was hit in the face and may have been blinded after he and a friend, John House, were hit by shotgun fire. The men, both of San Diego, were shot as they left a beauty salon. About a half hour after that shooting, Denetta Harper and Cherell Jackson of San Diego were wounded as they stood at 47th and Market streets, police said. Their assailants, three men in a white compact car, fired numerous shots that also hit a parked taxi and a home. House suffered numerous pellet wounds, but managed to drive Honeycutt to a hospital. Both men are listed in fair condition. Harper was in critical but stable condition at Mercy Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said. Jackson was wounded in the back and released after treatment.
