An 18-year-old was hospitalized with a gunshot wound to the thigh following a gang-related shooting in the Chollas View neighborhood Tuesday afternoon, authorities reported.
The incident occurred in the 1000 block of 47th Street around 12:35 p.m. Responding officers from the San Diego Police Department found the victim at the scene. Officials said the shooting was unrelated to nearby schools, but lockdowns were temporarily implemented at Chollas Mead Elementary, Gompers Prep Academy, and Horton Elementary out of caution.
San Diego Unified School District spokesperson James Canning confirmed that the lockdowns at Chollas Mead and Horton Elementary were later lifted. Police continue to search for the suspect, who has not yet been apprehended.
