A 32-year-old man was in the hospital Wednesday after he was shot by two assailants after a verbal argument in Panorama City turned violent.
The shooting was reported at 1:45 a.m. and Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to Saticoy Street and Ventura Canyon Avenue where they learned the victim was engaged in an argument with the suspects when suddenly the confrontation turned physical, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service.
At some point, one of the suspects drew a gun and shot the victim, who was taken to a hospital in stable condition.
Police said the suspects ran away from the scene in an unknown direction.
