5 Shots From Car Wound Youth, 15

SANTA ANA —  Five bullets fired from a passing car struck a 15-year-old Friday night, but his wounds were not life-threatening, police said.

The teen-ager was walking with a friend near the intersection of 4th Street and Daisy Avenue at 6 p.m. when they had a confrontation with at least two males who were riding in a small red or brown car, said Santa Ana Police Lt. Earl Porter. “As the car drove by, words were exchanged and several shots were fired from the car, five of which wounded the teen-ager,” Porter said. “He collapsed on the sidewalk.”

The victim, whose name was not released, was taken to UCI Medical Center in Orange where he is in serious but stable condition with wounds in his stomach, left arm and lower back.
