FBI Agent Wounded At Otay Mesa Shooting Range

An FBI agent was wounded by gunfire Thursday at a law enforcement shooting range near the George F. Bailey Detention Facility.

The apparent accident at San Diego Regional Firearms Training Center in the 400 block of Alta Road in Otay Mesa occurred shortly before 10 a.m., Lt. Robert Smith said.

Medics took the lawman to a hospital by ground ambulance for treatment of a non-life-threatening wound, FBI spokesman Darrell Foxworth said. The agent's name was withheld.

KPBS has created a public safety coverage policy to guide decisions on what stories we prioritize, as well as whose narratives we need to include to tell complete stories that best serve our audiences. This policy was shaped through months of training with the Poynter Institute and feedback from the community. You can read the full policy here.
