Man, woman shot; 4 California boys arrested

A man and woman were injured in a suspected gang-related shooting in Anaheim and four boys were arrested Tuesday night, May 2, authorities said.

The shooting occurred in the 1600 block of Calle Del Mar just past 8:35 p.m., Anaheim police Sgt. Jon McClintock said. That is in a stretch of apartment buildings just west of the Disneyland hotels and restaurants.

Arriving officers found the man and woman with non-life threatening injuries, and they also found several others running from the area, McClintock said. Officers initially detained the four boys and later arrested them.

The victims were taken to area hospitals and were expected to survive, McClintock said.

Two of the boys tried to use a large drainage ditch to flee the officers, but officers found them in the area of Euclid and Orangewood avenues and used a couple of ladders from Anaheim Fire & Rescue in order to get them out, McClintock said.
