Drive-By Attack Kills Boy, 17, in Glendale
A17-year-old boy was killed Wednesday when shots were fired from a car carrying suspected gang members in Glendale, authorities said.
The victim, whose name was not immediately released, died at Glendale Memorial Hospital about 50 minutes after the 2:40 p.m. shooting in the 4400 block of San Fernando Road, said Sgt. Dean Durand of the Glendale Police Department.
Witnesses told police that they heard gunshots coming from a blue or green late-1960s model Chevrolet, which drove past the victim and two other youths who were walking on a sidewalk, authorities said. The other youths were not hurt, Durand said.
The car’s occupants apparently followed the three youths after the two groups fought two blocks from the scene of the shooting, authorities said.
