Operations Specialist Seaman Apprentice Albert Lee Soto was shot early Saturday and was assigned to the destroyer Pinckney, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police received reports at 12:49 a.m. of shots fired in San Diego\u2019s East Village neighborhood, and a responding officer found Soto suffering from at least one gunshot wound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
