Man shot in Carson attempted robbery
More from Staff Writer Art Marroquin:
A 19-year-old man was wounded early today when a teenager shot him during an attempted robbery in Carson, authorities said.
The teenage would-be robber pulled out a gun when the pair got into a struggle near the intersection of Prospect Avenue and Adams Street around 2:45 a.m., said Sgt. Sean Hinkey of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The gunman shot the victim once in the thigh, then fled, Hinkey said. The victim's mother took him to a hospital, where he was interviewed by deputies.
