Man Shot in Head While Sitting in Car
A young man was in critical condition Sunday evening after being shot in the head in what police described as a gang-related shooting, police said.
The victim, whose age and identity were unknown late Sunday, was attacked as he sat in a parked car waiting for a friend to finish shopping at a convenience store at the corner of Edinger Avenue and Fairview Street, police said.
The friend said he returned to the car and found the victim bleeding from a gunshot wound to his head and another car fleeing the scene. The friend drove the victim to Coastal Communities Hospital in Santa Ana. Hospital authorities then transferred the victim to Western Medical Center-Santa Ana.
Police said the victim is not expected to survive.
