New details emerge in San Dimas party shooting

SAN DIMAS -- A shooting that left two men critically wounded earlier this week began as a dispute between young women, authorities said Friday.
The shooting occurred about 1:30 a.m. Monday at the corner of Darwood Avenue and Tudor Street. It appeared to have stemmed from a confrontation between two young women who went to a house party and the young woman who lived at the home, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Michael Rodriguez said.
The lieutenant said a teenage girl and a woman were accompanied by 21-year-old Daniel Lorenz of La Verne while Brian Weston, 18, of San Dimas waited in a nearby sedan.
"They had issues with (a resident) and they were going to confront her," Rodriguez said. "Other people got involved."
Specific details about the dispute were not available Friday.
Lorenz, Weston and the teenage girl were all jailed within hours of the shooting, Rodriguez said.
The girl was not named because she is a minor.
The fourth suspect -- described only as a woman -- remained at large.
The two young men wounded in the attack were in stable condition Friday, authorities said. One was shot in the chest; the other was wounded in the back and arm.
Rodriguez said deputies did not believe the shooting was premeditated.
At one point prior to the shooting witnesses reported that one of the female suspects showed a knife, Rodriguez said.
The girl who lived at the home asked those involved in the argument to leave, officials said.
About 50 young people were at the pool party.
"The girl that lived there (didn't) want any issues or problems," Rodriguez said.
The young men were shot outside a few doors down from the house, he said.
All four suspects fled in a car with Weston at the wheel, Rodriguez said.
Weston and Lorenz were arrested at or near their homes, he said. A gun believed to have been used in the shooting was located, though Rodriguez on Friday declined to say where it was found.
A criminal complaint filed against Lorenz and Weston charges each with two counts of attempted murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Jane Robison said Weston and Lorenz both entered not guilty pleas Wednesday and are due back in Pomona Superior Court for arraignment Aug. 4.
Lorenz is also accused of the special allegations of firing the shots and of causing great bodily injury. Weston was accused of the special allegation that there was a gun involved in his crime.
According to court records, Lorenz was being held in lieu of $2,050,000 bail and Weston was being held in lieu of $1 million bail.
