A 28-year-old man was hospitalized and his wife arrested after he was shot in the leg at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park on Sunday afternoon.
According to the San Diego Police Department, officers received a call about a shooting at the Escondido park shortly before 5 p.m.
Upon arriving on the scene, officers learned that a husband and wife had been arguing in the parking lot when the woman shot her husband in the left knee.
