A teenage man was shot in his driveway while standing at the open passenger door of a vehicle in Salinas on Wednesday, police said. Officers responded to the 1200 block of Linwood Drive on the report of a shooting at about 5 p.m., according to police. When police arrived at the scene, they found an 18-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. The incident began when the teenager was near an open passenger door of a vehicle in front of his home, and a man approached him from the sidewalk, police said. After words were exchanged, the suspect shot the man several times in the upper torso, police said. After the shooting, the suspect fled north on Linwood Drive and then ran east on Elwood Drive. He got into an early 90s, gray-colored Honda Civic that was waiting, and fled eastbound on Elwood Drive, according to police. The teenager was transported to Natividad Hospital Medical Center for treatment, and later transported to a Bay Area hospital in a helicopter for treatment of critical injuries. Police described the suspect as an 18- to 20-year-old Hispanic male, wearing a white sweatshirt and white pants at the time of the shooting. The shooting is being investigated as gang related, police said.
