Three suspects jailed, no one injured, after Pasadena shooting
PASADENA -- Four people escaped injury and police arrested three suspects following a shooting Thursday afternoon, authorities said.
Three Pasadena teens, ages 19, 17 and 14, were arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon in connection with the noon shooting at Garfield Avenue and Park Street, Pasadena police Lt. Chris Russ said.
The name of the adult suspect was not released due to an ongoing investigation, he added.
The circumstances and motive in the shooting remained unclear, Russ said. The suspects allegedly opened fire with a handgun on two 19-year-old boys, a 17-year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman.
No one was struck by the gunfire, and investigation led officers to find and arrest the suspects as they were walking nearby in the 600 block of North Los Robles Avenue, the lieutenant said. Witnesses identified them as the attackers.
Further investigation Friday turned up the gun believed to have been used in the shooting hidden inside a car parked in the area, Russ said.
