Police had initially reported that this was a car-to-car shooting, but they now say the women were on foot at the time. No description of the shooter or the shooter’s vehicle was immediately available. The incident remains under investigation.

Carnage Continues In Tujunga
A
nother hit and run incident happened Tuesday November 3rd at the intersection of Apperson and Tujunga Canyon. Four people were injured in a three car collision that saw one car flipped on its roof and a third car fleeing down Apperson. Neighbors from the surrounding apartments reported hearing the loud crash and the screech of tires
as a “light colored, maybe silver car sped away down Apperson following the crash.” The LAFD arrived within 5 minutes but the LAPD did not respond for almost 45 minutes after the accident was reported. Neighbors sat on their balconies and the sidewalk watching as the accident victims were loaded into ambulances and driven to local hospitals.
