San Diego CBS Sports Director shot near his home

Kyle Kraska, sports director of CBS News 8, was seriously wounded Tuesday afternoon in a shooting outside his Miramar Ranch North home, according to police and his employer.

The gunfire in the 12000 block of Avonette Court was reported shortly after 3 p.m., SDPD public-affairs Officer Matt Tortorella said.

A neighbor told San Diego police that someone shot the rear window out
of Kraska’s silver Mercedes-Benz, firing as many as 10 shots, then fled in an older-model white minivan.

Medics took Kraska to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla. An officer who accompanied him to the hospital said he was alert, awake and responsive.
