Two men opened fire on each other on a street in Paradise Hills Saturday evening, wounding two bystanders — a woman and a teenager — San Diego police said.

Shoppers scattered and called 911 to report 10 or more gunshots near La Palapa Market at Reo Drive and Cumberland Street.

They described one man with a handgun riding away on a bicycle, another man running down an alley and a newer, black Cadillac speeding away.

Police got the reports about 5:25 p.m. and quickly surrounded the store and fanned out to look for the shooters. No one was arrested.


A 48-year-old woman suffered a shrapnel wound to one leg and was taken by paramedics to a trauma center.

Within 15 minutes of the shooting, staff at another hospital called police to report that they were treating a 15-year-old who was also wounded at the market. A round hit his right thigh, police Officer Robert Heims said.
