Police are investigating after a man was reportedly shot in Lompoc Friday morning.
Lompoc police say they responded shortly after 3 a.m. to the 700 block of the North Third/Fourth Street alley when 911 calls came in reporting gunshots.

About 30 minutes later, police say a 26-year-old man who had been shot once in the shoulder arrived at Lompoc Valley Medical Center.
