Shooting reported in Baldwin Park
BALDWIN PARK -- A man was shot and wounded Saturday afternoon in a residential neighborhood, police said.
A 25-year-old man was walking at Los Angeles and Center streets about 2 p.m. when a car approached, Baldwin Park police Sgt. Darryl Kosaka said.
A gunman inside the car, whose description was not available, asked the victim where he was from -- a common gang challenge -- before opening fire, police said.
The victim was struck in the upper back and was hospitalized with what was believed to be a minor gunshot wound, Kosaka said.
A description of the car used in the shooting was not available, the sergeant added. The victim was not cooperating with investigators.
