2 men hospitalized after being shot on 10 Fwy in Monterey Park
LOS ANGELES - Traffic on the eastbound lanes of the 10 Freeway in Monterey Park was at a complete standstill for hours Tuesday morning as the California Highway Patrol investigated a car-to-car shooting that sent two men to the hospital in critical condition.
According to the CHP, the two men were traveling in a white sedan on the 10 Freeway eastbound through the Boyle Heights-East LA area around 5:20 a.m. when shots were fired at them somewhere between the Soto and Eastern exits.
The victims were able to pull over in the Monterey Park area and call 911. Both men were taken to the hospital in critical condition and at last check both were undergoing surgery.
The suspects left the scene and authorities did not immediately provide a description of the suspect vehicle or suspects wanted in connection with the shooting.
SUGGESTED:
- Mother, son shot while sleeping in South LA home
- LA car thefts rising
- Holiday scams: Card draining
- Gor Adamyan: California 4-year-old dies in apparent road-rage shooting
So far in the investigation, authorities said they do not believe there were any prior incidents between the suspects and the victims before the shooting.
Any witnesses to this shooting are urged to come forward.
