3 men shot in El Monte, circumstances of shooting unclear

EL MONTE — Detectives worked Sunday to determine the circumstances surrounding a shooting that left three men seriously wounded the previous afternoon.
The shooting was first reported about 3:40 p.m. Saturday in the 3500 block of Gilman Road, El Monte police Detective Ralph Batres said.
Responding officers were flagged down about a block away from the scene at Durfee Avenue and Exline Street, where they found two men suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.
A third victim was found a short time later by police in Alhambra, Batres said. The wounded man told officers he had been wounded in the El Monte shooting.
“All the conditions were serious, but all were expected to survive,” Batres said.
The wounded were described as a 48-year-old Los Angeles Man, a 33-year old Soledad man and a 24-year-old Los Angeles man.
Investigators initially received conflicting reports about what happened and were working to sort out what actually took place, Batres said.
A motive in the attack was not apparent, and no shooter description was available.
