Monrovia man wounded in shotgun attack
A young man was wounded in a possibly gang-related shotgun attack Sunday in an unincorporated county area between Monrovia and Duarte, officials said.
The shooting occurred about 5 p.m. at Beckville Street and Broderick Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Jeff Walker said.
A 21-year-old Monrovia man was walking in the area when he was approached by a silver Suzuki vehicle containing five male Latinos, the sergeant said.
One of the men inside the Suzuki opened fire with a 12-gauge shotgun, Walker said, striking the victim in the back, legs and buttocks.
He was hospitalized with injuries that did not appear to be life-threatening, the sergeant added.
No gang-affiliations were immediately apparent, Walker said, however sheriff's gang investigators were looking into the possibility the shooting was gang-related.

Mexican gang bangers are targeting whites for gang initiations.
Where is the outrage. These hispanic GANG MEMBERS who are probably here illegally seemingly murder and attempt to murder countless White children, women and men without the police doing much at all.
Where is the outrage? I'm so sick of this politically correct, White hating society that our Government has forced upon us.
Various people in the world take the home loans in various banks, because this is simple and comfortable.
Houses and cars are expensive and not everyone is able to buy it. However, mortgage loans was created to help different people in such kind of cases.
