UPDATE: One shot at Dockweiler, not two
One person was shot in a car-to-car shooting at Dockweiler Beach in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon.
One of the vehicles involved was a white Humvee limousine with 10 people inside, police said.
An black Oldsmobile and a truck might have been involved.
Police received multiple calls about an active shooting shortly after 3 p.m. Los Angeles and El Segundo police officers responded, according to El Segundo police.
Los Angeles police Sgt. Ron Pickering said 30 to 40 rounds were fired in a parking area near the entrance to the beach at Imperial Highway.
The El Segundo Fire Department treated the victim, as well as another person who might have been hit by a car in the chaos after the shooting.
Police officers detained several people, including a possible suspect. The limousine was stopped near the entrance to the Century Freeway.
It was not immediately clear whether the people in the limo were the suspects or the victims.
The shooting occurred on the Los Angeles side of the border with El Segundo. El Segundo police, however, arrived first and assisted the victims. Los Angeles police will investigate.
Police closed southbound Vista Del Mar at Grand Avenue, northbound Vista Del Mar at Sandpiper Street and westbound Imperial Highway at Pershing Drive to investigate.
No other information was immediately available.

I hope the PD is able to catch the suspect. I know the ESPD works hard to resolve issues quickly. However, after catching the suspect, I hope the courts and the suspect's attorneys don't drag it out in bogus litigation - because that is a big slap in the face to the officials that work so hard to resolve the crime.
