From City News:

The gunman who killed two men and wounded three others in a drive-by attack near the Metro Blue Line Station at Compton Boulevard was at large today.

The shooting broke out about 6:35 p.m. Tuesday, said Deputy Byron Ward of the
Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau. Two men died at the scene, and two women and a man were taken to hospitals, Ward said.

A woman whose name was withheld was reported in critical condition early today after
undergoing surgery, Sgt. Douglas Iketani at the sheriff's Compton Station said. No hospital conditions were available for other two people wounded -- the woman had a
graze wound, and the man an elbow wound -- but deputies said both had stable vital
signs.

The shots apparently were fired in a drive-by attack, but no description of the
vehicle was made available early today. The names of the dead and wounded were unavailable early today.
