The gunfire in the 3600 block of Ocean View Boulevard was reported shortly after 3:30 p.m., according to San Diego police.

The second person wounded in the shooting showed up at a hospital later for treatment of injuries of undisclosed severity. The victims' names were not released. During the course of their investigation, detectives learned that a group was gathered in the parking lot of a convenience store just before the shooting and a light-colored car drove westbound on Ocean View Boulevard and appeared to fire several rounds at the group, police said. The car then continued westbound on Ocean View Boulevard. No descriptions of the shooter or shooters were immediately available, and no suspects in the case were in custody as of 5 p.m., Buttle said.
