SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - Three men were shot Wednesday inside a luxury high-rise apartment building in Southern California and police were hunting for the suspect after failing to find the attacker during a search of the complex.
Police were called to 9 MacArthur Place in Santa Ana at around 3:15 p.m. and found one wounded man on the ground floor of the building and another victim in a unit on the 15th floor of the south tower.
A third man was found later during a search of the area, police said.
The men, ages 19, 25 and 27, were hospitalized in stable condition, Cpl. Anthony Bertagna said.
The 25-story south tower was evacuated while police conducted a floor-by-floor search for the attacker and other victims but neither were located and residents were allowed to return by 6:30 p.m., the Orange County Register reported.
Police did find two handguns that possibly were involved in the shooting, Bertagna said.
