Four people were injured Monday evening in Long Beach in a possible gang shooting, police said.
At least one gunman walked up to the group outside an apartment complex in the 200 block of West Burnett Street about 5:20 p.m. and opened fire, said Nancy Pratt of the Long Beach Police Department.
A 19-year-old man shot in the torso was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. Two teenage girls and a 22-year-old woman suffered non-life-threatening wounds, Pratt said.
No suspects were in custody Monday night as police investigated “the possibility that it may have been gang-related,” Pratt said.
Anyone with information should contact Long Beach detectives at (562) 570-7370.
[Updated 11 p.m.: Since January 2007, there have been 22 homicides within one mile of Monday’s multiple-injury shooting, according to data collected for The Times’ interactive Homicide Report.]
