OXNARD : 2 Youths Arrested in Drive-By Shooting
Two youths believed to be involved in a gang-related drive-by shooting have been arrested, Oxnard police said Monday.
The two youths, ages 15 and 17, shouted gang slogans as they pulled up beside a car carrying four boys at Saviers Road and Channel Islands Boulevard in Oxnard, said Sgt. Gary Amar of the Oxnard Police Department. The four boys fled in their car as the two youths chased them, Amar said.
The passenger in the youths’ car pointed a shotgun at the four boys and fired once into the door on the driver’s side of their car, Amar said. No one was injured, he said.
The four victims contacted police, who stopped the shooting suspects’ vehicle shortly afterward and arrested the two youths, he said.
