One dead, three hurt in bus shooting
Shots were fired into a privately hired bus in Los Angeles, killing one person and injuring three others.
The shots were apparently fired by someone in a car shortly after the bus left the Century Club nightclub yesterday, police said.
The victims had been involved in a fight at the nightclub, but it was unclear whether the shooting was related to the fight, police said.
Police said there were no suspects and the attack apparently did not target anyone.
‘‘There were many, many people on the bus,’’ said Detective Ron Phillips. ‘‘It was just a random drive-by shooting, I don’t think they had anybody in particular. It was just unfortunate.’’
Killed was Tony Lorenzo Galloway, 26.
A 20-year-old woman was shot in the abdomen and was in critical condition at UCLA Medical Center with massive liver bleeding, said hospital spokeswoman Elaine Schmidt.
A 36-year-old man shot in the chest was treated and released, and a 30-year-old man shot in the lung was in fair condition.
Schmidt said that after the shooting, the people on the bus drove around looking for an emergency room, driving to UCLA Medical Centre instead of another hospital that was closer to the shooting.
‘‘They didn’t call 911, which would have been a wise thing to do, because they wasted some time and their companion was dying,’’ Schmidt said.
