(Feb. 5, 2018, 5:55 a.m.) -- The neighborhood in the area of South St./Orange Ave. (border of 8th and 9th Council districts) had two shootings in about two hours about two blocks apart on Sunday night-Monday morning (Feb. 4 and 5.)

LBPD overnight Watch Commander Lt. Omar Martinez tells LBREPORT.com that at about 10:00 p.m. Sunday Feb. 4, officers were flagged down in the area of South St./Orange Ave. and found a man (adult) with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. LBFD transported him to a hospital; there's no immediate suspect information and LBPD is investigating what took place as possibly gang related.

A little over two hours later (12:25 a.m. Monday Feb. 5) about a block or two west of Orange Ave., there was gunfire in the 1100 block of E. South St. (roughly Lewis/Cerritos Aves.) where a man (adult) was found with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound; LBFD transported him to a hospital; there's no immediate suspect information and LBPD is also investigating this shooting as possibly gang related.
