The shooting happened around 12:45 p.m. in the 100 block of East Calle Primera, according to San Diego police.

Paramedics took the victim, whose name and age were not released, to a hospital for treatment of an apparently non-life-threatening leg wound, Officer Tony Martinez said.

After the gunfire, witnesses saw a group of four young men running across the pedestrian bridge from the Calle Primera side toward Willow Road.
