Law enforcement officers talk with teens at the scene of a shooting on Torrey Pines Drive near Bonanza High School Thursday, Feb. 21, 2008.

Metro Police responded to a call that a man had been shot in the neck near Bonanza High School today at 1:29 p.m.

A Metro spokesperson said the shooting was triggered by some sort of brawl in a nearby apartment complex that spilled onto Torrey Pines Drive near Del Rey Avenue, where the shooting occurred.

The male victim was taken to University Medical Center with a neck wound.

Police say the suspect is still on the loose, but have not provided a description at this time.

Neither the victim nor the suspect were Bonanza students.

Police had increased patrols in the area after 15-year-old Christopher Privett was shot to death after school outside of Palo Verde High School on Alta Drive Friday.
