LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Police Thursday are searching for the gunman who shot and wounded five women and one man who might not have been the intended targets in South Los Angeles.
The shooting was reported shortly after 3:12 p.m. Wednesday when officers from the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Community Police Station responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call at the intersection of 74th and Figueroa streets, police said.
When the officers arrived, they found the victims suffering from gunshot wounds, primarily in the lower extremities, police said.
Police said the victims were walking along the street when three suspects drove up to them and opened fire and then drove away from the scene.
"At this early stage of the investigation, detectives do not believe any of the six individuals were the intended targets," reads an LAPD statement.
LAPD Detective Dean Vinluan said the area "is plagued with gang violence," but police cautioned in a statement " it remains unclear if the incident was gang-related."
Los Angeles Fire Department personnel took the victims to a hospital. All were reported to be in stable condition.
Video from the scene showed a dark-colored vehicle parked at the shooting location, with bullet holes visible in the windshield. CBS 2 reported police collected over 25 bullet casings.
The wounded women range in age from 40 to 62 and the injured man is 36, according to the LAPD.
It was not immediately clear what prompted the shooting.
Anyone with information regarding this shooting was asked to call the detectives at the 77th Street Community Police Station at 323-786-5420. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be made to 1-877-527- 3247.Callers who wish to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 800-222- 8477 or send tips to lacrimestoppers.org.

From ABC7 "It is believed the victims were all on foot at the time of the shooting and were likely not the intended target, though police have not said who the actual target may have been. Three suspects pulled up in a black car, got out and and opened fire before fleeing the scene, police say." "Witnesses told police the suspects looked like teenagers, but additional information was not available."
