A bystander was hospitalized Tuesday after he was struck by an errant bullet during an argument between three other men in the South Los Angeles neighborhood of Vermont Vista.
Los Angeles Police Department officers responded at 11 p.m. Monday to a shots fired call near Manchester and Menlo avenues where witnesses told them two suspects drove up and began arguing with a truck driver, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service.
At some point, one of the suspects got out of a vehicle and fired several shots at the truck driver, but instead struck the bystander.
The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
The truck driver was not wounded and the suspects drove away in an unknown direction.
