A shooting on San Diego’s Shelter Island sent three to the hospital and prompted a heavy police response.
Gunfire erupted on the beach around 9 p.m. Saturday when two parties got into an argument surrounding a bonfire, San Diego police Lt. Ken Impellizeri said at a press conference.
Three people were struck and transported to area hospitals. KFMB-TV reported that two suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, while a third person was in critical condition.

Addressing reporters at the scene, Impellizeri said the initial call dispatched to law enforcement agencies might have used to word "mass shooting," but this was not a mass shooting incident.

"It was really not a mass shooting. It was shooting between two parties at the beach, or at the bay," he said. "The important thing is there’s no threat to public safety at this point."
One of the people shot is believed to have played a larger role in the incident and was "not just a victim," Impellizeri added, according to KUSI.
