Shots fired in Pasadena
PASADENA -- Officers responded to a call of gunfire just before noon Friday at Glen Avenue and Montana Street but found no signs of anyone injured or property damaged by bullets, Pasadena police Lt. Chris Russ said.
A witness told police they saw two men walking together and one of them drawing a handgun. He opened fire on a third man, Russ said.
The intended target ran a short distance before pulling his own weapon and returning fire, he said.
All three men were described as black men in their late teens or early 20s.
In a written statement, Pasadena Police Chief Christopher Vicino said one of the suspects was found hiding in the area, and that a gun believed to belong to him was also found. The suspect's name was not released.
A search of the suspect's home turned up illegal drugs, he added.
