Woman Shot Outside Pacific Beach Bar

A 24-year-old woman was struck in the buttocks by a stray bullet near a Pacific Beach bar early today, police said.

The shooting near Bar West in the 900 block of Hornblend Street was reported at 2:05 a.m., said San Diego police Sgt. David Jennings.

Witnesses said they saw a large group of men arguing, then heard several shots fired from within a crowd, Jennings said in a statement.

Paramedics took the wounded women to a hospital, he said, adding that the injury was not life-threatening.

The men involved in the argument fled northbound in a Chevy Camaro or a Dodge Challenger, according to Jennings.
