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.

From the Associated Press:

PHOENIX — Helicopters and police dogs are searching for three convicted murderers who escaped from a northwest Arizona prison, kidnapped two semi-truck drivers at gunpoint and used the big rig to flee.
A Department of Corrections spokesman says the men escaped Friday evening by cutting a hole through a perimeter fence at the Arizona State Prison in Golden Valley.
Police say the truck drivers were kidnapped Saturday morning but they were later released unharmed.
The three escapees are 42-year-old Tracy Province, 36-year-old Daniel Renwick, and 45-year-old John McCluskey. They were last seen wearing orange prison jumpsuits.
Flagstaff police Sgt. James Jackson says a 44-year-old woman identified as Casslyn Mae Welch met the men and helped in their escape.

Police arrested a Pasadena parole agent on suspicion of stealing nearly $3,000 from a Monrovia parolee’s bank account, authorities said Thursday.
Robert Earl Wilson, 52, of Chino Hills was booked Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of grand theft, Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra said.
The alleged victim, Elaine Balles, 59, of Monrovia, was on parole at the time of the theft, Ibarra said
“He removed funds from a bank account without authorization of the victim,” the lieutenant said. The alleged thefts took place between February and May.
Balles was not being supervised by Wilson, Ibarra said.
Police said Balles had come to trust Wilson through their interactions at the Pasadena parole office, 333. E. Walnut Street. She provided him with her bank account information so that he could access her account if she became incarcerated, Ibarra said.
Balles was arrested in March by Monrovia police officers on a parole violation following a 2004 burglary conviction, according to court documents. A judge sentenced her to 180 days in jail and she was released on May 18, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
“She had trust that he would be a responsible individual,” the lieutenant added. “Unfortunately, he then utilized that info to get funds for himself.”
Police arrested Wilson about 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Pasadena parole office.
Balles could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Maria Franco, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Corrections, said Wilson had been with the the agency for more than 20 years.
“There’s no comment because it’s an ongoing investigation,” Franco said. “That would impede an investigation.”
Once Pasadena police complete their criminal investigation, the state will conduct its own administrative probe, Franco said.
“Anything involving a peace officer we take very seriously,” she said.
Wilson was placed on administrative leave during the investigation, Franco said.
The parole agent was released Wednesday after posting $20,000 bail, according to sheriff’s booking records.
Police said he was due in Pasadena Superior Court for arraignment on Aug. 27.
Balles has an extensive criminal record that dates back to the mid-1980s. She has been convicted of drug possession, petty theft, forgery, child endangerment, burglary and elder abuse.
There were no indications Thursday that anyone else had been victimized by Wilson, Ibarra said.
“We do not have any additional victims, nor any prior allegations of similar conduct,” she said.

PASADENA — Police arrested a parole agent from the Pasadena parole office Wednesday on suspicion of grand theft, authorities said.
R.E. Wilson, 52, was released later in the day after posting $20,000 bail, according to sheriff’s booking records.
Citing an ongoing police investigation, as well as a possible internal investigation by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, police declined to release details of what Wilson is suspected of stealing.
“He was arrested for grand theft,” Pasadena police Lt. Tracey Ibarra said. “I can’t comment more. The investigation is ongoing.”
According to state law, “grand theft” involved stealing money, labor or property valued at greater than $400.
After contacting the the Pasadena parole office where Wilson worked, police arrested the agent about 1 p.m., Ibarra said.
Information on Wilson’s initial court appearance was not available Wednesday.
