A 19-year-old woman was hospitalized Friday after she was shot in the back of the head during a drive-by shooting, police said.
The victim, who was not identified, was listed in stable condition at UCI Medical Center in Orange, said Sgt. Joe Kahapea.
Kahapea said she was a passenger in a car traveling south on Flower Street at about 6:15 p.m. Another car pulled alongside, and someone fired a shotgun from the driver’s side, the sergeant said.
At least two pellets struck the back of the victim’s head, Kahapea said. The driver was not injured.
