Santa Ana Gang Shooting

Two men in their late teens to early 20s were injured in a drive-by shooting in Santa Ana, near the intersection of South Main Street and East Chestnut Avenue, on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Santa Ana Police Department, as reported by the O.C. Register.

The men were actually shot in the 800 block of Cypress Avenue then they were taken by friends in a white van to a fire station by the intersection the police found them at.

The shooters drove by in a black SUV when they shot at the victims who were standing outside a residence.

The victims were taken to a hospital and are expected to survive.  No names have been released.  Police are investigating what appears to be yet another gang-related shooting in Santa Ana.

This shooting happened in Santa Ana’s Ward 2, which is represented by Santa Ana Councilwoman Michele Martinez.

    1. If orange county was a human body S A would be the butthole I’m sick of living here ,later after this incident around 8pm there we more shots fired on w. Chestnut the cops never even showed up

  1. The politicians here have failed the people I’m sick of living here, I’m sick of living in a town where they rather invest on more school police than after school programs, fake cops who call themselves the gang unit but act as if they were above the law conducting illigal searches with their so and frisk policies it’s all b s. They are never around when this type of event takes place
