Shoot-out reported in East Valinda
EAST VALINDA -- An apparently gang-related running gunbattle was reported near Sunshine Park Sunday, however officials were unable to find anyone wounded from the shooting.
The incident occurred just before 4 p.m. at Altario Street and Deepmead Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Sonja Bracken said.
The shoot-out appeared to be between a group of four young men and another young man who was by himself, she said.
Authorities initially believed the incident was between members of the Hurley Street gang of East Valinda and the Duke gang of the West Covina area.
Deputies discovered bullet fragments in the street, but no gunshot wound victims were reported at area hospitals, Bracken said.
The shooting involved at least two guns, she said, however witnesses provided conflicting details about exactly how many guns were involved.
