No injuries reported in Whittier shooting
Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of a shooting Thursday, but the apparent target of the attack did not cooperate with investigators, authorities said.
The incident was reported shortly after 8:30 p.m. and is believed to have occurred near a Taco Bell restaurant at Whittier and Norwalk boulevards, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Hiroshi Yokoyama said.
The report came from a family member of the apparent victim in an unincorporated county area near Industry, he added.
Deputies found a 25-year-old man who had not been struck by the gunfire and refused to tell officials what happened, Yokoyama said.
"The victim is also possibly a gang member who was reluctant to provide information," he said.
