Fight at Kiosk Prompts Shooting in El Cajon: PD

Shots rang out at a kiosk in front of an office at South First and Decker streets, leaving one person wounded

Heavy police activity filled an intersection in El Cajon Friday after shots were fired at a kiosk in front of an office, officials confirmed.

El Cajon Police Department (ECPD) Lt. Stephen Kirk said two suspects walked up to a kiosk in front of a welfare office at South First and Decker streets just before 12:30 p.m., where two employees were giving out phones.

For unknown reasons, a fight started between the suspects and the people working the kiosk. One suspect walked away, went to a car and came back to the kiosk carrying a gun.

Two shots were fired, Kirk said, and one victim at the kiosk was wounded in the leg. That person was driven to Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Mesa by a friend before officers arrived on scene.

The second victim suffered a wrist injury.

No one else was harmed.

The suspects fled in a dark-colored sedan. At this point, the incident is under investigation. The ECPD does not know if the shooting was gang-related.

Anyone with information is asked to call ECPD at (619)579-3311 or Crime Stoppers at (888)-580-8477.
