A suspect fired shots, but was unable to strike his intended victim during a shooting in Long Beach, authorities said Sunday.
Officers dispatched at about 10:15 p.m. Saturday to a “shots call” in the area of Fourth Street and Orange Avenue located evidence, including bullet casings, indicating a shooting had occurred, the Long Beach Police Department reported.
An investigation revealed that an argument between two men escalated into a shooting, where one of the men pulled out a handgun and fired shots, missing his intended victim.
“The victim and suspect fled prior to officers’ arrival,” police said. “No injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.”
