Two shot in Azusa
AZUSA -- A man and a teenage boy were shot and wounded early Sunday during a fight on a residential street, police said.
Officers responded about 2:15 a.m. to reports of a shooting with several victims in the 600 block of East Lime Street, Azusa police said in a written statement.
"On arrival, they located the two victims, both of which were suffering from gunshot wounds," the statement said.
The wounded, a 17-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man, were hospitalized in unknown condition, authorities said. Both are local residents.
The shooting occurred after a group of suspects confronted the victims and an argument erupted, Azusa police Sgt. John Madaloni said.

Detectives were still seeking a motive Sunday and had not ruled out gang involvement, Madaloni said.
