Pasadena shooting leaves two wounded
PASADENA -- Two young men were wounded Saturday when a fist fight turned into a shooting, police said.
The shooting was reported about 12:30 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in the 1800 block of Lundy Ave., Pasadena police Lt. Pete Hettema said.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting remained unclear Saturday, however the shooting was believed to have been preceded by a fist fight, the lieutenant said.
A 19-year-old man was shot in the hand and torso and an 18 year old man was shot in the shoulder in the incident, he said. Both were expected to survive.
One of the wounded men was taken to the hospital by ambulance, Hettema added, while the other was dropped off at the hospital by a private vehicle.
A description of the shooter and a motive in the attack were not available Saturday, he said.
"They're working on leads," he added.
