LOS ANGELES, Calif.–A woman was shot in the leg today during an attempted robbery in the Windsor Square area, and police were searching for the gunman.
The shooting occurred about 6:45 a.m. in the 4500 block of West Fourth Street, said Officer Cleon Joseph of the Los Angeles Police Department’s Media Relations office.
Paramedics took the woman to a hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, said LAPD Sgt. Ed Clark of the Olympic Station.
The woman was walking to her parked car when she was confronted by the man, who demanded her property, Clark said. She resisted, and he shot her and fled without taking any property.
The suspect was initially described as a man weighing about 175 pounds and wearing a gray sweatshirt and blue jeans. However, police later received conflicting descriptions of the suspect.
Anyone with information was asked to call the LAPD’s Olympic Station at (213) 382-9102. All tips can be made anonymously.
