Teen killed, 4 hurt in L.A. County holiday gunfire

A shooting occurred on a residential street in Antelope Valley on Christmas Day, leaving one teenager dead and four others injured.

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, Lancaster Sheriff’s Station deputies responded to the 1000 block of East Angela Court in Lancaster after receiving a report of a shooting victim around 1 p.m.

When deputies arrived, they saw a 16-year-old boy unconscious in the street, shot with a bullet. Life-saving measures, including CPR, were administered, but the victim later died from his injuries.

While deputies were securing the scene, a second shooting victim was located, prompting requests for additional ambulance and fire resources, according to Key News Network’s news video service. That victim was taken to the hospital for treatment.

A possible third gunshot victim later arrived by private vehicle at Antelope Valley Medical Center, where deputies intervened to assist and continue the investigation, according to KNN.

“A 17-year-old female juvenile, a second 15-year-old male juvenile, and two male adults, 19-year-old and 29-year-old, were transported to a local hospital and treated for minor non-threatening gunshot wounds,” the sheriff’s department told KTLA.

Witnesses told authorities that the suspects fled the scene in multiple vehicles after gunshots were heard. Another caller reported seeing two male suspects jump a fence near Glenn Court shortly after shots were fired.

While no arrests have been announced as of 21.30, the cause of the attack is being investigated. Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department at (323) 890-5500.
