Man wounded in Pico Rivera shooting
PICO RIVERA -- A man was shot and wounded Thursday in what initially appeared to be a liquor store robbery gone bad, authorities said.
Deputies responded to a report of a robbery about 8:20 p.m. at J&M Liquor, 8940 E. Beverly Boulevard, and found a man who had been wounded in a shooting, Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Jacqueline Sanchez said.
The wounded man, who appeared to be in his 30s, was taken to a trauma center with a gunshot wound, Los Angeles County Fire Department Capt. Sal Chavez said.
His condition was unknown, however he was conscious and alert when hospitalized, the captain said.
It was not clear if he was an employee of the liquor store, Sanchez said.
Deputies set up a search perimeter and continued hunting for the shooter late Thursday, Sanchez said. A description of the attacker or a motive in the shooting was not available.
