4 wounded after shooting at Los Angeles County street takeover

Four people were wounded after someone opened fire during a street takeover in the San Gabriel Valley, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. 

The shooting happened at around 1:45 a.m. near the intersection of Garvey Avenue and Del Mar Avenue, deputies said in a news release

"During the incident, a shooting occurred, resulting in four victims being struck by gunfire," the release said. "All four victims were transported to local hospital and are currently listed in stable condition."

Deputies said that all of the victims were males between 17 and 22 years of age. 

There was no immediately available information on the suspect or a motive in the shooting and detectives said that the circumstances leading up to the incident remain under investigation. 

"Detectives are actively working to identify those involved and determine the events that led up to the shooting," the LASD release said. 

Video from the scene shows cars performing doughnuts in the large intersection, surrounded by clouds of smoke from the burning rubber of the tires. Several gunshots are suddenly heard ringing out, while the person recording says, 'I'm going home, I'm going home!"

Residents say they're fed up with the constant takeovers, which take place at several different large intersections in their neighborhood. They've voiced those concerns with city leaders, who say that incidents like what happened on Sunday are unacceptable. 

"The city is aware of the incident that occurred over the weekend and is deeply concerned about the escalation of a street takeover into violence," said a statement from Rosemead City Manager Ben Kim. "Public safety remains our top priority, and we are working closely with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department."

Anyone who knows more was asked to contact LASD Temple Station deputies at (626) 285-7171.
