California – Redondo Beach A gunman opened fire at a popular Southern California pier complex and wounded two people.
The shooting Wednesday night at the Redondo Beach Pier sent people running to get away, and police tweeted for people inside businesses on and near the pier to stay inside. Numerous 911 calls reported “a lone suspect shooting at citizens” around 8:20 p.m., a police statement said.
KTLA-TV reported that witnesses said the shooter was in the pier parking lot and began randomly shooting at people on the pier.
The suspect, described only as a man in his 30s, did not seem to know the people he had fired on, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Lt. Brandon Dean said.
“It was indiscriminate shooting,” Dean told the Los Angeles Times.
The victims, a man and a boy, suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to their lower torsos, the sheriff’s department said. They were hospitalized in stable condition. Authorities did not immediately identify the suspect.
People near the shooting described chaos when the gunman opened fire. The suspect was shot after officers responded and he fled down a rock embankment toward the ocean’s water line, where he was found dead, the statement said.
