Two Hospitalized in Pomona Shootings

A pair of shootings in Pomona late Friday left two men wounded, authorities said.

In one shooting, police responded to Pomona Valley Community Hospital at 10:52 p.m. Friday, where they found Isacc Michael Leon suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound, said Sgt. Iain Miller.

Leon refused to provide Pomona police with details about what happened to him or even where he was shot, a sergeant said.

"The victim was uncooperative and unable to provide detailed suspect information and the motive is unknown at this time," the sergeant said.

In the other attack, a man who was shot in front of a Pomona liquor store reportedly walked more than a block to a 7-Eleven before calling authorities.

The first shooting took place about 10:30 p.m. Friday, in front of a liquor store at 588 East LaVerne Avenue, said Pomona police Lt. Chuck Becker.

The victim, 58-year-old Raymond Sears of Pomona, walked more than a block to the 7-Eleven store at LaVerne and Towne Avenue before he called police, Becker said.
