Three people were wounded in a daylight shooting near Koreatown on Sunday.
The Los Angeles Fire Department received the call at 12:49 p.m. And rushed to the corner of Venice Boulevard and Catalina Street, an intersection that sits in the dense central Los Angeles neighborhood. Crews found three injured individuals at the scene and transported all of them to a local hospital for treatment.
The extent of the victims’ injuries remains unknown. Authorities have not released any information about their ages, identities, or conditions following the transport.
The motive for the shooting has not been disclosed. It is also unclear whether any suspects have been identified or taken into custody in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
The California Post reported the shooting occurred in broad daylight on a Sunday afternoon, a time when the area typically sees steady foot and vehicle traffic along the commercial corridor.
LAFD officials were the primary responders at the scene according to the initial report. The Los Angeles Police Department’s involvement and any ongoing investigation details were not specified in the immediate aftermath.
Koreatown, one of Los Angeles’ most densely populated neighborhoods, has seen periodic violent incidents despite a general decline in crime across the city in recent years. Sunday’s shooting adds to the pattern of daytime violence that has periodically disrupted the area.
No further updates on the victims’ conditions or any arrests were available as of the initial report.
