4 shot in East Los Angeles after Mexico-England soccer match

Four people were wounded during an argument at an East Los Angeles intersection, with a crowd of Mexico soccer fans in the area.

The shooting was reported at 9:35 p.m. Sunday, July 5, at Whittier Boulevard and Leonard Avenue, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Deputy Tracy Koerner said.

Two men were wounded when a suspect produced a handgun and fired at them during an argument, the Sheriff’s Department said.

An uninvolved woman and a boy were also struck by bullets.

All four victims were taken to hospitals by ambulance and treated for injuries not believed life-threatening, the officials said.

A news videographer said there was a crowd of Mexico soccer fans in the area after the team lost to England in the FIFA World Cup and that witnesses reported vehicles performing doughnuts in the intersection when the shooting occurred.
