Four people, including an 8-year-old boy, were wounded Thursday evening in two drive-by shootings in South Los Angeles, police said.

Authorities said the attacks, which occurred shortly after 7 p.m. more than 40 blocks apart, were unrelated.

In one of the shootings, in the 4400 block of South Stanford Avenue, a woman in her 20s, an 18-year-old man and the 8-year-old boy were struck by bullets fired from a white Chevrolet or Oldsmobile with black stripes.
