SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A man was shot twice in Little Italy early Saturday after leaving a bar where he had been arguing with a security guard.
The victim had been arguing with a security guard at the El Camino bar, when the guard made threats that "something would happen to them," according to San Diego Police.
At about 2 a.m., after the victim had left with friends, the guard reportedly followed the group down to India St. at Laurel St., where another argument between the two occurred, police said.
