LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A man in his 60s was hospitalized Saturday after he was shot during a verbal confrontation with three assailants in the Westlake neighborhood in what police believe was a gang-related shooting.
Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department were called just after 11:30 p.m. Friday to 1230 W. Seventh Street south of Wilshire Boulevard where they learned that after the argument, the suspects left, but two returned to the scene and shot the victim multiple times, an LAPD spokesman told City News Service.
Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics took the victim to a hospital, where he underwent surgery.
The suspects ran in an unknown direction.
