Three men were wounded during a drive-by shooting on the outskirts of the unincorporated Florence community of Los Angeles County, authorities said Sunday.
A 37-year-old man was standing near East 79th Street and South Central Avenue at about 9:15 p.m. Saturday. A vehicle — possibly a beige Chevrolet Suburban carrying three suspects — drove by and someone inside the vehicle fired some shots, said Officer Mike Lopez of the Los Angeles Police Department‘s Media Relations Section.
The 37-year-old man was shot twice in the chest. A 40-year-old man suffered a gunshot wound to the upper torso and a 33-year-old man suffered a graze wound to the forearm, Lopez said.
Paramedics rushed the three men to an area hospital, said Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Lopez said the conditions of the shooting victims were not immediately known, and it was not immediately known if the shooting was gang-related.
