The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is investigating a shooting in Lemon Grove that left one person wounded Monday.
The shooting happened in a residential neighborhood on Washington Street near Vernier Drive at about 5 a.m., SDSO said.

The victim was transported to Scripps Mercy Hospital for surgery, SDSO said. His wound was considered serious, SDSO Sgt. Zee Sanchez said.
