Santa Clarita / Antelope Valley : 2 Men Sought in Guard’s Shooting
Sheriff’s deputies were searching Monday for two men who shot a security guard while the guard was keeping an eye on a store’s “parking lot sale” merchandise after the store had closed for the night.
The shooting occurred at 1:30 a.m. Saturday outside the McMahan’s Furniture store at 43422 10th St. West. The guard, a 60-year-old Lancaster resident whose name was withheld by authorities, remained in stable condition Monday at Antelope Valley Hospital Medical Center, Deputy Marty Shearer said.
Investigators have not determined a motive for the shooting. Deputies said the guard was walking around the parking lot on his regular patrol when two men appeared from behind a block wall, yelled for the guard to stop, then started shooting at him.
