A 28-year-old man who was sitting in his front yard in the 300 block of Grace Avenue was shot in the back early Sunday morning by an intruder who fled on foot, police reported.
The gunshot victim, Jorge M. Vasquez, was rushed to UCI Medical Center in Orange, where he is listed in critical condition, officers reported.
