| | Comments (1) |
VALINDA -- One person was killed and another wounded in a shooting Thursday, authorities said.
It was the second double-shooting in the area in four hours.
The drive-by shooting occurred about 8:30 p.m. on Griffith Avenue near Fellowship Street, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Arthur Scott said.
Both victims were believed to be male, however their ages were not immediately known, the lieutenant said.
One was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other suffered an apparently non-life-threatening wound to his leg, Scott said.
The suspect vehicle was described only as a dark-colored compact car, he said.
No further details were available.
It was not immediately clear of the shooting was related to a another shooting earlier in the day in West Valinda that left two men wounded.
Two men were standing on Judith Street near Millbury Avenue about 4:30 p.m. when a dark-colored car with four young men inside stopped.
Someone in the car yelled "East Side Bolen" -- the name of a local area street gang -- before the front passenger opened fire nine times, authorities said.
A man in his 30s was shot in the torso and hospitalized in critical condition, officials said. The other victim, a man in his 50s, was shot in the leg and listed in stable condition.
The two attacks occurred less than three miles apart.
