One Person Shot When Family Gathering in Wildomar Turns Violent

A gunman opened fire during a family get-together in Wildomar and shot a man several times, a sheriff’s sergeant said Sunday.

Sheriff’s deputies received a call at 11:30 p.m. Saturday and went to the 33300 block of Mission Trail, where they found the victim laying on a dirt driveway outside the home, Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Chad Loeffler said.

The victim was described as only a 33-year-old male, and was taken to a local hospital for treatment of multiple gunshot wounds. He showed stable life signs and was expected to survive, Loeffler said.

The suspect was armed with a small-caliber handgun and was not identified.

Deputies urged anyone with information about the shooting to call the sheriff’s Lake Elsinore station at (951) 245-3300 or (951) 776-1099 after hours or on weekends.
