LBPD Watch Commander Eric Matusak tells LBREPORT.com (preliminary information) that on Jan. 21 at about 6:28 pm. officers were sent to the 1000 block of E Anaheim St. regarding a personm-hit shooting that had just occurred and found a man (adult) wounded; he was in stable condition when taken to a hospital.

LBPD Gang detectives responded (now routine procedure in non-fatal shootings); the suspect is currently outstanding and LBPD's investigation is ongoing,
