A man was wounded in an officer-involved shooting Thursday morning on a canyon trail in Otay Valley Regional Park in Otay Mesa, police said.
Officers responded around 5:30 a.m. to an area near the 500 block of Beyer Way, but the exact reason for the response was not immediately known, said San Diego police public-affairs Officer Billy Hernandez.
