A search is ongoing for a shooter who allegedly wounded two individuals on Monday night at a shopping center in downtown Los Angeles.
Police in Los Angeles arrived at the scene of a shooting in the 700 block of South Figueroa Street, close to the 7th Street intersection, shortly before 9 p.m., as confirmed by authorities to KTLA.
Information is scarce, but initial, unverified accounts indicate that the manager of the Target store at Figat7th shopping mall contacted authorities regarding the shooter.
Authorities informed KTLA that upon arrival at the location, officers found two men with gunshot injuries and called for medical assistance from the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Two individuals, including a security guard, were quickly taken to local hospitals. Police reported that one individual was in serious condition, while the other was in fair condition.
A white male suspect with tight, curly hair, dressed in a black jacket and gray pants, along with a gray backpack and scarf, reportedly fled in an unknown direction on Figueroa Street, according to police.
Aerial footage from Sky5 shows a significant police presence outside the mall, with onlookers gathered and yellow tape marking off the entrance on the sidewalk.
Police were called to a shooting near 7th Street and Maple Avenue around 9:30 p.m., resulting in two individuals being hospitalized. The connection between the second shooting incident and the first remains uncertain.
No additional information was given. This ongoing situation will be revised as new details emerge.
