Man shot, beaten with baseball bat in Rosemead
ROSEMEAD - Attackers shot a man with a shotgun and hit him in the head with a baseball bat late Tuesday, authorities said.
Deputies responded to reports of "shots fired" about 11:35 p.m. in an alley near Garvey and Del Mar avenues, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Mark Glatt said.
They found a Latino man in his 20s who had been shot at least once in the leg with a shotgun, the lieutenant said. The wounded man also told deputies he had been struck in the head with a baseball bat.
He was taken to the hospital where he was expected to survive, he said.
The victim did not appear to be fully cooperating with investigators, Glatt said, and a motive in the attack was unknown.
The only information available about the suspects was that they were seen driving in a black SUV, he added.
