An off-duty security guard was caught in the crossfire of an altercation in San Diego's East Village neighborhood as he tried to intervene in a heated argument between two males and one female early Sunday morning, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
The incident occurred near the corner of Broadway and Park Boulevard when the victim, who was on his way to work, spotted the argument and decided to intervene, as reported by Times of San Diego.
During the struggle, one of the suspects pulled out a gun, and the security guard was shot in the leg., as FOX 5 San Diego reported. In this particular scenario, the off-duty security guard suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound in his thigh, but one can't help but think about the what-ifs and possible outcomes had the weapon been aimed elsewhere.
In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, bystanders attempted to provide aid by stopping the bleeding from the victim's wound before he was transported to a local hospital. The suspects in the incident are still at large, with no detailed descriptions available. The San Diego Police Department is currently investigating the case, hoping to use available surveillance camera footage to identify and locate the suspects involved in the altercation.
