The 44-year-old owner of a Valley Glen smoke shop was one of two men killed Monday night in a shooting outside the business, according to investigators.
The shooting, which left the smoke shop owner's 25-year-old son hospitalized in critical condition, was reported around 10 p.m. at Coldwater Canyon Avenue and Victory Boulevard.
The shooting apparently stemmed from a fight involving the store owner and a 38-year-old man, but details about the dispute were not immediately available. The 38-year-old man, possibly a customer, also was killed.
Two of the men involved in the fight pulled out guns and began shooting, police said.
