A night of violence
Drive-By Shooting Reported in Los Angeles; 4 Injured
This is a developing story.
At least four people were injured in a shooting Sunday night in the west-central San Fernando Valley neighborhood of Winnetka, authorities said, with preliminary reports pointing to a drive-by attack.
Los Angeles Police Department officers from the Topanga Division responded to the intersection of Saticoy Street and Oso Avenue around 9:40 PM PST, where gunfire erupted from a vehicle, according to witnesses.
The victims, all males, suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds and were transported to area hospitals. No suspects are in custody, and the motive remains under investigation. LAPD described the incident as isolated, assuring the public there is no ongoing threat. Firefighters and paramedics treated victims at the scene before hospital transfer.
Roads in the area were temporarily closed but have since reopened. This marks the latest gun violence in the San Fernando Valley, where officials have noted a spike in targeted shootings amid broader LAPD efforts to curb gang activity.
Anyone with information is urged to contact LAPD's Topanga Division at 818-610-1880 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 800-222-TIPS. Updates expected Monday.
