“When deputies arrived, they found that a male Hispanic (who is) 16 years old was suffering from a gunshot wound to his upper body,” Johnson said. Shortly after responding to the initial call, deputies learned that a vehicle had crashed a quarter of a mile away from the site of the mass shooting.
“(They) were discovered to have multiple gunshot wounds throughout their bodies, including injuries to their heads, back and upper and lower body area,” Johnson said.ĭeputies responded to find five victims shot, and were told by a witness that two other victims were taken to a hospital before authorities arrived, according to Johnson. Victims’ ages ranged from 16 to 24, according to Chief Myron Johnson of the sheriff’s department Countywide Services Division. The shooting happened outside of a home in a cul-de-sac where between 20 to 30 people were believed to have been gathered, deputies said at a news conference. Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded early Saturday to a report of multiple gunshot victims at a residence in Carson, about 17 miles south of Los Angeles.
