SAN BERNARDINO >> A day after San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan held a town hall meeting to address the recent violence in the city, officers arrested three men in connection to a shooting Wednesday afternoon that sent a wounded woman to the hospital and placed on nearby school lock down.

The shooting happened just before 12:30 p.m. in the 300 block of W. Wabash Street, just a block north of Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, according to initial police reports.

Police at the scene said the men arrested are believed to have ties to a street gang.

A woman suffering from at least one gunshot wound showed up at a nearby hospital emergency room. She is expected to survive.

A handgun has been recovered by police, according to authorities.

Soon after the shooting, police became involved in a short pursuit with a vehicle that ended back near the crime scene.

Police established a perimeter while searching for the suspects. California Highway Patrol and San Bernardino County Sheriff’s authorities including at least one K-9 unit, assisted police in their search for the gunmen.

San Bernardino police called a town hall meeting Tuesday evening to address a recent uptick in violence on the streets. The city has seen seven people killed over the last 10 days, a spike in homicides that San Bernardino police Chief Jarrod Burguan said won’t be tolerated.

“Crime goes up and it goes down, but this spike is more than numbers. There’s more to it than what’s seen on the surface,” Burguan said, speaking from the gymnasium at the Boys and Girls Club.

All of 2016’s 24 homicides have similarities, either being gang- or drug-related, and share other common factors connected to a gangland lifestyle, Burguan said.
