A 50-year-old man was shot in the left thigh early Wednesday morning in the Mountain View area, police said.
It happened shortly before 12:05 a.m. in the 200 block of Southlook Avenue, San Diego Police Officer John Buttle said.
The 50-year-old man and his friend were in an alley near Southlook Avenue when a man in a gray sedan, possibly a Dodge Charger or a Mercedes-Benz, drove up and asked the man a question, Buttle said.
The gunman then fired several shots from the car, striking the victim in the left thigh, and drove off in an unknown direction, Buttle said.
The victim was transported to a hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound, which was not believed to be life-threatening, Buttle said.
No suspect descriptions were immediately available.
Detectives from the San Diego Police Department’s southeastern division were investigating the shooting.
