A teenager was shot yesterday in San Diego's Clairemont neighborhood, and police spent the evening combing the area for whoever pulled the trigger. The incident landed in a community already on edge after a deadly attack at a nearby mosque earlier this month.
Officers rushed to the scene, and the wounded teen was taken to a hospital while investigators canvassed the surrounding blocks, according to NBC 7 San Diego. The outlet reported that, as of Tuesday night, police had not released any suspect description or possible motive, and the search was still ongoing.
Clairemont Still Shaken
The neighborhood was already reeling from the May 18 shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego, where two teenagers allegedly opened fire, killing three people. Local officials are investigating that attack as a possible hate crime, according to KPBS. In the weeks since, residents have seen heightened patrols and a community still trying to catch its breath.
Police Ask For Tips
Investigators are urging anyone who might know something about Tuesday's shooting to contact the San Diego Police Department, NBC 7 San Diego reported. With no arrests announced, detectives say they are particularly interested in any video, eyewitness accounts, or other details that could help them piece together what unfolded on the street.
