LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — A man is in critical, but stable condition after being shot in the Westlake area of Los Angeles early Saturday morning and then struck by a van occupied by the two suspects who wounded him.
The shooting in the area of Fourth Street and Burlington Avenue occurred at 2:05 a.m., said Officer Aareon Jefferson of the LAPD's Media Relations Section.
Two suspects walked up to the man and shot him. The victim then got into a Honda Accord, that was occupied by two females and drove away, Jefferson said.
