It happened within close proximity of Bonanza High School letting students out. That, coupled with the shooting last week near Palo Verde, police swarmed to the scene, closing down streets near Torrey Pines and Del Rey.
"We had a plan in place with the school district to have extra patrols here. Police officers arrived within about four or five minutes of the incident. From what I'm being told we had Metro here and school police, both in patrol cars and on bikes," said Capt. Jim Dixon of Metro police.
