A 17-year-old boy was shot and hit by a car at a gas station in Canoga Park early Wednesday morning after a brawl in the parking lot, authorities said.
The boy was in the gas station parking lot with a group of people shortly before 1 a.m. when the suspect approached them and got into a fight, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Warren Moore said.
The suspect then got into a fight with the group and fired several shots at them. The teen was beaten, according to police.
The suspect ran off, and the teen was hit by a car that sped away from the gas station at Vanowen Street and Independence Avenue, Moore said. Police could not say whether the vehicle was driven by the suspect in the shooting.
The victim was taken to hospital in critical condition, police said. Authorities had no description of the suspect.
