Two people were shot with a BB gun Sunday in East Village downtown and 11 similar shootings were reported in Coronado. Police say someone fired a BB gun from the rear of a white sedan that drove through downtown shortly after midnight.

The shootings happened outside the Omni Hotel on Island Avenue, where two people were hit, and on Park Boulevard, where a vehicle's back window was shot out, according to Officer Dino Delimitros of the San Diego Police Department. A woman was injured in the shootings and treated at the scene. Another victim declined treatment.

Also Sunday, the Coronado Police Department reported in a Facebook post that 11 BB-gun incidents happened around town in the morning. "In addition to car windows being damaged, a business in the 1200 block of Orange Avenue reported two of their windows shattered, and a homeowner reported having their front window broken," the post said.

Coronado business owners and residents are asked to check surveillance cameras and report any information to Coronado police by calling 619-522-7350.
