2 hospitalized after shooting in Long Beach; investigation underway

Two people were hospitalized after a shooting in Long Beach late Thursday. 

Long Beach police responded to the intersection of Clark Avenue and Wardlow Road a little after 8 p.m. where they discovered a red  car with two people inside who had been shot. 

Detectives said the shooting actually happened a mile away in a neighborhood at Brockwood Street, where the woman and man were engaged in some kind of fight with a man, that escalated to a shooting.

The two drove away, and got into an accident at the Clark, Wardlow intersection where they were trying to flag down people for help.  

Both the woman and man were shot in the upper part of their bodies. The LBPD said the woman is in critical but stable condition and the man's injury is non-life-threatening. 

The suspect is said to be a man who fled in a silver type SUV.
