(June 27, 2021, 4:50 a.m.) -- This time the shooting -- LB's fourth in four days -- wasn't in some working class neighborhood. It was a triple shooting -- three victims: two men and a 13 year old boy -- in an apparent drive-by in downtown LB's upscale shoreline area (Shoreline Dr. at Aquarium Way (south of Chestnut Pl.) as they stood outside Hooters (south of the Pike and a few steps east of the Aquarium.)

In the 7 p.m. hour amid Saturday diners, visitors and others in the area, one bullet flew through Hooters' front door (missed hitting diners) and one of the three wounded individuals staggered into the restaurant leaving blood on the floor.

LBREPORT.com was on-scene for a 9 p.m. hour briefing by LBPD Police Chief Robert Luna -- VIDEO click here -- who said LBPD was already using overtime to deploy additional officers in response to LB's other recent shootings which enabled officers already in the shoreline area to swiftly detain three persons of interest in the shooting. With the caveat that initial information might change, Chief Luna said the shots came from a vehicle. Asked by LBREPORT.com about possible gang involvement, Chief Luna said it was "on the table" [a possibility under investigation.]
