Three Killed, Four Injured in Beverly Crest Shooting
On Saturday morning, three people were killed and four critically injured in a shooting in the affluent neighborhood of Beverly Crest in Los Angeles, California.[0] According to Sgt. Bruce Borihanh of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the shooting took place at a short-term rental home and some type of gathering may have taken place at the time.[1]
According to the Gun Violence Archive, this is the sixth mass shooting to occur in California this month, resulting in the injury or death of at least four people.[2] Of the seven people who were shot, four were standing outside, and the three who were killed were in a vehicle.[3] Paramedics took two of the victims to the hospital, while the other two drove themselves.[4] Two individuals have been reported to be in stable condition, while two others are in critical condition.[4]
At this time, no information is available about the shooter or shooters.[2] No details have yet emerged about a potential suspect, and the identities of the victims have not been released.[5]
This follows a mass shooting in Monterey Park earlier this month, in which 11 people were fatally injured, and a shooting in Half Moon Bay days later, in which seven people were killed.[6]
Homicide detectives are continuing their investigation by interviewing neighbors and searching for home surveillance video.[7] Residents of the area are questioning if mass shootings can be prevented, as authorities attempt to piece together the details of this tragic incident.[8]
