One person was killed and four others injured Thursday in a series of midafternoon shootings in a quiet Westside neighborhood, briefly prompting a citywide tactical alert, police said.
Gunfire first erupted in the Palms neighborhood about 3 p.m. in the outskirts of Woodbine Park, at Vinton Avenue and Woodbine Street. There, police found two people wounded, said Lt. John Jenal of the Los Angeles Police Department.
One of the two was pronounced dead at the scene, Jenal said.
Moments later, a third person was critically injured in a shooting about one block from the park, said Officer Jack Richter.
About a half-mile from the park and a few minutes later, another shooting occurred outside a 7-Eleven near Overland Avenue and National Boulevard, Jenal said.
Rafael Rocha, who saw the ambush unfold, said a group of men fired from across the shopping center parking lot at two men leaving the convenience store.
