The victim, thought to be in his 30s, was awake and breathing when he was taken to a hospital.
Because of his condition, detectives have cordoned off the scene of the shooting, which took place about 4:15 p.m., at Brynhurst Avenue and West Slauson Avenue in case the incident becomes a homicide investigation, said Officer Mike Lopez, a Los Angeles Police Department public information officer.
No further information regarding assailants or the victim was available.
