A security guard was shot Tuesday while in his car in a Laguna Hills neighborhood and a suspect was arrested.
Orange County Sheriff’s Department deputies were dispatched about 11 a.m. to Bridlewood Drive and Oso Parkway regarding the shooting, sheriff’s Sgt. Mike Woodroof said.
The victim was taken to a hospital, said Woodroof, who did not have details on how seriously the guard was injured, but doctors had to take him into surgery.
Deputies arrested a suspect in the neighborhood a short time alter, Woodroof said. The name of the suspect was not immediately released.
The victim was a security guard but it was unknown whether he worked in the area, Woodroof said. A witness to the shooting dialed 911, Woodroof said.
The victim was in a car that clearly showed the name of the security company on it, Woodroof said.
