Man Slain, 2nd Wounded at Motel
One man died and another was wounded as the result of a gunfight outside a National City motel early Sunday, police said.

On arrival, officers found two wounded men. Both were motel guests. They learned that a suspect and his companions had fled. Four people were later apprehended and were being held for questioning.
One of the wounded men died at UCSD Medical Center as he was being operated on for a chest wound. The other man was shot in the arm. The names of both were being withheld pending further investigation.
