Woman wounded in Rosemead party shooting
ROSEMEAD -- A woman was shot and wounded in an apparently unprovoked attack at a party late Thursday, authorities said.
The shooting occurred just after 11:30 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in the 3400 block of Kelburn Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Michael Martinez said.
"There was a party at the location," the sergeant said. "For no apparent reason, somebody shot and struck one of the partygoers."
The wounded woman was hospitalized with an injury that did not appear to be life threatening, Martinez said.
The shooter was initially described only as male, he said, and an SUV may have been involved in the attack.
Sheriff's gang investigators are investigating the possibility of gang involvement in the shooting, he added, though the wounded woman was not believed to have any gang ties.
