Four men were hospitalized Saturday with gunshot wounds received late Friday, authorities said.
Two of the shooting victims suffered critical injuries, one requiring surgery and two others escaped the shooting attack with less serious injuries, a Los Angeles County Fire Department dispatcher said.
It happened about 11:45 p.m. near the intersection of East 126th Street and North Compton Avenue, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Jason Wolak said.
Two of the victims were in their early 20s, and the other two in their late 30s, Wolak said.
All were gathered outside an apartment when a suspect, or suspects, began firing, Wolak said.
The shooting was being investigated by a gang unit, he said.
