A Man May Have Opened Fire Inside the Grocery Store
BREAKING NEWS: At least six people were injured during a shooting at a grocery store shopping center on Friday in South Los Angeles, according to authorities.
Reports were preliminary, but CBS Los Angeles reported that the shooting occurred around 4 p.m. on the west coast.
“Early reports from law enforcement indicated that a man had opened fire inside the market,” the station reported, adding that one victim was shot in the head. Other reports had indicated the shooting took place outside the store. That contradiction was unclear as the information was preliminary.
Authorities have not yet confirmed those details. A possible suspect was taken into custody, reported the television station, which added that employees of the grocery store hid in a vault room to escape the shooter.
CBS initially reported that it was a triple shooting.
The shooting reports come after the nation has seen a series of mass shootings, most recently a shooting at tattoo parlors in Denver and Lakewood, Colorado. The suspect in that shooting was named as Lyndon McClay, who had extremist writings on social media and who died at one of the scenes. The condition of the victims in the Los Angeles shooting is not yet known; nor are their names released.
