Drugs seized from home of Huntington Beach man shot by intruders

Huntington Beach police said they seized drugs and cash from the residence of a man who was shot inside the home multiple times by masked intruders early Thursday morning.

Police have not stated how the drugs may be connected to the shooting, but said Thursday they do not believe the home was randomly targeted.

The victim called police just before 3:30 a.m. to tell them he’d been shot in his home in the 8400 block of Lambert Drive, according to the Huntington Beach Police Department.

A friend of the victim, who asked not to be identified, said he was staying in the home and witnessed the violence after waking up with a gun pointed in his face.

Two strangers wore ski masks and yelled that they were police as they entered, waking up the two men inside, according to the friend.

He described being held at gunpoint moments before his friend ran down a hallway toward the two gunmen and began fighting with them.

“It’s the scariest thing I’ve ever been through,” he said.

Police did not identify any suspects and declined to release additional details.
