The La Mesa Police Department received a 911 call of ongoing domestic violence inside an apartment in the 8400 block of Buckland Street at 3:38 a.m. Saturday, which led to a single gunshot being fired, according to Lt. Scott Hildebrand.
The 911 call came from a 51-year-old man next door who was shot in the head while asleep in his bed in a room with a shared wall, Hildebrand told City News Service. The victim, whose identity was not released, suffered a grazing wound and was ambulatory before he was taken to a hospital in an ambulance, Hildebrand said.
