A driver reportedly plowed through a large crowd outside of a club in Los Angeles early on Saturday morning, injuring more than 30.
According to reports on Civilian, 31 injuries were reported, and gunshots were fired at the scene.
Police identified the shooter as a 5’9″ Hispanic man, wearing a blue jersey with the number 5 on the back.
Per the Associated Press:
Victims were transported to local hospitals and trauma centers, according to Capt. Adam Van Gerpen, public information officer for the Los Angeles City Fire Department. At least three were in critical condition after being injured along Santa Monica Boulevard in East Hollywood, the Fire Department said in a statement.
Van Gerpen said that a line of people — the majority female — were waiting to enter a nightclub when they were struck by a Nissan Versa that also hit a taco truck and valet stand.
Paramedics discovered that one of the patients had a gunshot wound, Van Gerpen said. He told The Associated Press that the identity of that person was not yet known.
“This is under police investigation,” he said. “This will be a large investigation with the LAPD.”
According to the latest update from the LA Fire Department, “Transports include: 7 in critical condition, 6 in serious condition, 10 in fair condition. 7 patients refused transport after assessment on scene.”
An investigation into the incidents is still underway.
