INDUSTRY — Two men and a woman were shot and wounded early Saturday inside an Industry strip club, and two men were jailed in connection with the shooting, authorities said.

The incident was reported about 12:15 a.m. at Miss Kitty’s Gentleman’s Club, 13079 Valley Boulevard, on the Bassett border.
“There were two gunshot victims inside the location,” Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Kevin Walk said. “One was shot in the abdomen, one in the leg.”
Another wounded person was discovered a short time later.
“A third victim was driven to a local hospital by his companions,” Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Pete Cacheiro said.
All three victims were expected to survive, officials said. They were described as a black man, a Latino man and a Latino woman.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting were not immediately available, and investigating detectives withheld the suspects’ names pending further investigation, Cacheiro said.
“Because it’s an ongoing investigation, there’s some things that we probably shouldn’t release,” Cacheiro said.
The shooting is being investigated by the sheriff’s gang unit.
“There’s been no mention of gang-involvement at this time,” Walk said, “but that’s a gang area.”
The bar was open for business Saturday, however the owner could not be reached for comment.

INDUSTRY — A big rig fire overturned and burst into flames on the 60 Freeway near Industry Saturday, sending the driver to the hospital with burns and prompting the closure of a transition road for more than six hours, authorities said.
The incident occurred just after 5:20 a.m. on the westbound 60 Freeway at the 605 Freeway, in an unincorporated county area near Industry, California Highway Patrol Officer Anthony Martin said.
The truck driver, a man of about 60 years old, suffered third-degree burns to one of his arms and was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center for treatment, Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Ruben Torrez said.
The big rig apparently struck an abandoned vehicle, went over an embankment and caught fire, fire officials said.
By the time the flames were extinguished, “There was nothing left of the truck at all,” Torrez said. It was unclear what, if any, cargo the truck carried.
According to CHP logs, and motorists were initially driving backwards on the northbound 605 Freeway transition road to the westbound 60 Freeway to avoid the fire.
The transition road was closed for more than six hours as officials checked for fire damage on a bridge passing over the 605 Freeway, Martin said.
The fire spread to nearby grass, authorities said, but firefighters quickly doused those flames.

INDUSTRY — A freight train crashed into a truck Friday shutting down a major road for most of the day, authorities said.
The crash occurred shortly before 12:15 p.m. on Nogales Street at Railroad Street, just north of the 60 Freeway, Los Angeles County Fire Department Captain Mike McHargue said.
Though firefighters were preparing for the worst when they received a call of a train crashing into a truck, “actually, there were no apparent injuries,” McHargue said.
The driver of the truck, a man in his 50s, was hospitalized as a precaution, the captain said.
The man was inside the truck when it was struck, he added, but the cargo portion of the vehicle took the brunt of the impact.
Nogales Street was closed in both directions at the crash scene as officials worked to repair and remove the damaged train, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Sonja Bracken said. The street was expected to remain closed until at least 10 p.m.
According to California Highway Patrol logs, the westbound 60 Freeway offramp to Nogales Street was also closed down until the train could be removed.
The bobtail-style truck apparently became stuck in traffic on the train tracks and was struck by the eastbound Union Pacific freight train, Bracken said.
The railroad signals appeared to have been working properly, McHargue added.
“There was no malfunction that we know of,” he said.
Either the crash itself or the commotion that followed disturbed a nearby bee hive, McHargue said. The insects did not appear to be swarming or posing an immediate threat to people, and vector control officials were notified of the hive.
The captain added that the crash also dislodged one of the railroad signal boxes, exposing underground wires.
