Shotgun Blast From Auto Injures 4 in Anaheim
Four people were wounded by a shotgun blast in what police on Saturday called a gang-related shooting.
Anaheim Police Sgt. Frank Van De Weerd said that two juveniles and two adults were struck in the legs by shotgun pellets fired from a car shortly after 10 p.m. Friday at the intersection of Lynne Avenue and Hampstead Street.
The victims were standing on the southeast corner of the intersection when they were shot. Wounded were Jose Gonzalez Uribe, 22, of Anaheim; a 17-year-old Stanton boy; a 15-year-old Anaheim boy; and an unidentified woman.
Van De Weerd said that the most serious wounds were sustained by Uribe, who was listed in fair condition Saturday evening at UCI Medical Center in Orange.
Van De Weerd said that the two teen-agers were in good condition at Western Medical Center-Anaheim. The woman, he said, sought her own treatment.
