LA PUENTE - A 19-year-old woman and 18-year-old man were injured in a shooting after suspects opened fire Saturday night, a Sheriff’s lieutenant said.
The man was shot in the torso, the woman possibly received a graze wound on Banbridge Avenue near Roundabout Drive. Both were taken to an area trauma center for treatment, according to Lt. James Long of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Industry Station. The shooting occurred around 8:13 p.m. Suspects from two silver sedans began firing at the man and woman sitting in a white Dodge. The gunfire began south of Roundabout Drive and towards the dead end of Banbridge, Long said.
A very brief chase possibly unfolded during the gunfire, Long said.
Both silver sedans have driver-side damage. At least one vehicle was recorded in security camera being crashed into. Deputies found evidence that a 9-millimeter gun and either a .223 rifle or AR-15 were used, Long said. Deputies stated the man and woman injured Saturday are the two people shot at in the 700 block of Tonopah Avenue August 13. It is unclear if the shooters on Banbridge are the same suspects who opened fire on Tonopah, Long said. Suspect descriptions were unavailable. Written by AARON CASTREJON CityWatch Editor LA PUENTE - Deputies are investigating a shooting Monday night that left a man and woman unscathed. The shooting occurred in the 700 block of Tonopah Avenue around 10:50 p.m. August 12. One of possibly four suspects in a white or silver Dodge Charger opened fire, according to Sgt. Kneubuhler of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Industry Station. The woman was seated in a parked vehicle. The man was standing outside the vehicle when four to five rounds were fired at him. The man ran from the scene and the gunman continued to fire at him, Kneubuhler said.
A house and two vehicles were hit by gunfire, said Lt. James Long of the Sheriff’s Industry Station. The man being fired at did not claim any gang affiliation, but did have numerous tattoos. Deputies were working to confirm if he did, in fact, have ties to any gangs, Kneubuhler said. The suspects are only described as Hispanic males. |
