Police are searching for two suspects in a violent invasion in Chula Vista Tuesday night, according to police.
Three adults, two toddlers and a 17-year-old boy were inside the home on 5th Ave. at about 10:40 p.m. when two men, one armed with a shotgun, walked through an unlocked door and told everyone to get down, according to police.
One of the suspects asked the grandmother if there was anyone else inside the home, according to police. She then called for the 17-year-old to come into the room.
“As the 17-year-old entered the leaving room from the back bedroom, the suspect fired the shotgun striking the victim in the face, neck and shoulder,” said Capt. Gary Wedge.
The suspects then fled the scene empty handed, according to police.
“We have no idea why they shot at him. There was very minimal conversation between the victims and the suspects,” said Lt. Ron Redmond.
The victim was transported to UCSD Trauma Center and has minor injuries.
