Written by City News Service - A 22-year-old man investigators say is a known gang
member suffered a stomach wound in a shooting in a Westlake district laundromat
tonight and a 71-year-old man was grazed by two rounds that ricocheted off the
storefront's windows, police said today.
The shooting happened at 10:20 p.m. Thursday at 1300 W. Seventh St.,
near the intersection of Witmer Street, Sgt. Melvin Gamble of the Los Angeles
Police Department's Rampart Station said.
A man in his 20s entered the store and appeared to target the victim,
who was taken to County-USC Medical Center in critical condition, Gamble said.
Investigators believe the shooter is a gang member, Gamble said.
``We have an idea where he is from,'' he said.
The 71-year-old man was walking past the laundromat when he suffered
graze wounds to his back and an arm, Gamble said, adding that the man was
treated at the scene and not taken to a hospital.
One of the laundromat's windows had spiderweb cracks and another was
completely blown, said a news photographer at the scene.
An initial report that the victim was an employee of a 7-Eleven store
near the laundromat turned out to be unfounded, Gamble said. LOUDLABS NEWS
