LAPD Offering $75K Reward In Care Center Shooting

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Los Angeles police are hoping a $75,000 reward will lead to the arrest of suspects who shot and wounded three adults at a special needs care center in South LA on March 7th.

Officials say two suspects chased and then fired 10 shots at two men who were at the corner of Van Ness and Vernon avenues. They say the bullets went thru the back yard of the Vernon Adult Day Program as ten people were sitting down to lunch.

"If this community can't protect those innocent victims, then we're really at a loss in South LA," said 77th Division Captain Dennis Kato.

Anyone with information is urged to call 1 (877) LAPD 24-7.
