A 40-year-old Santa Ana man has been arrested and is facing charges of attempted murder, authorities with the Anaheim Police Department announced Wednesday.
The incident occurred Mar. 19, at around 4:10 a.m., when officers responded to reports of a shooting outside of a nightclub in the 500 block of South Brookhurst Street in Anaheim.
At the scene, authorities located a victim suffering at least one gunshot wound, an Anaheim PD news release stated. The victim was taken to the hospital in grave condition.
