A shooting at an Arco gas station in Canoga Park left one person suffering from a gun shot wound to the head Wednesday.

Around 1 a.m. police received calls of a shooting at a gas station on Vanowen Street and Independence Avenue.

When they arrived they found one person who had suffered a gun shot wound to the head. That individual was conscious and was transported to the hospital in critical condition. Their identity remains unknown.

It is unclear what led up to the shooting but police believe it may have taken place after a verbal dispute.
