Shooting reported in Azusa, bullet passes through child's bedroom
AZUSA -- An attacker opened fire on a group of people early Sunday, striking no one but narrowly missing a young child sleeping in a nearby apartment, authorities said.
The apparently gang-related shooting occurred about 2:20 a.m. in front of an apartment building at 6th Street and Glenfinnan Avenue, Azusa police Sgt. Jerry Arnold said in a written statement.
An unknown-type vehicle approached a group of people congregated in front of the building when someone inside opened fire several times, police said.
"One round entered an apartment when it went through the window of a room where a small child was sleeping," the statement said.
A parked car was also struck by several bullets, officials said.
No description of a shooter or the vehicle was available, and no further details were released.
