Costa Mesa, California

From the August 10, 2005 Orange County Daily Pilot:
Two men remained hospitalized Tuesday after being shot with a single bullet during a confrontation with a former landlord in Costa Mesa, police said.

The shooting occurred Monday night outside the landlord's home in the 3000 block of Donnybrook Lane. Police said one of the injured men and three acquaintances went to the landlord's home because of a dispute over missing property. Police are withholding all names.

The confrontation escalated, and the landlord drew a 9-millimeter handgun and shot one man in the shoulder. That bullet passed through him and hit a second man in the chest. Both men remained hospitalized Tuesday, but their injuries were not considered life-threatening. Police said their initial investigation indicated that the landlord fired in self-defense.
