Officers went to Bolivar and Santa Rita regarding a shooting victim. They found a male, 13, suffering from two gunshot wounds to the abdomen. It appears that the victim was walking near the park and an occupant of a sedan fired at least two rounds at him. The sedan fled eastbound on E. Bolivar after the shooting . The victim was airlifted to a Bay Area trauma center and is in surgery. We are canvassing the area for witnesses and additional evidence.
