LBPD Public Information Officer Ben Hearst tells LBREPORT.com that on November 15 at roughly 8:45 p.m., LBPD dispatched officers to a hospital for a man (adult) with a gunshot wound. Police described the victim as "uncooperative" and officers couldn't find a crime scene in the location indicated. The type of firearm isn't known and LBPD's investigation is ongoing.

This is the second shooting within a week in which the victim (who obviously knows the location where they were shot) hasn't cooperated and provided a location where officers couldn't find a crime scene. (The other was Nov. 10 in the area of PCH/Henderson (LBREPORT.com coverage here.)

Accordingly, LBREPORT.com has begun a new reporting category on our cumulating map (below), showing such shootings with an "*" asterisk, and lists them accordingly on the continually updating chart on our front page (www.LBREPORT.com) showing shootings/stabbings by Council districts.

Jan 1, 2018 to date: Red Xs=homicides; Blue Xs= shootings, person wounded; Brown Xs=shots fired at victim(s), not hit; Purple Xs=shots at occupied residence/vehicle; Green Xs= shots at unoccupied vehicle/residence; Grey Xs=shots fired (no hit, no target identified); Orange X's=non-fatal stabbings; Blue * asterisk=victim hit, police unable to locate crime scene. Map is unofficial. A separate map (not shown here) shows shootings in Central LB
