Police Search for Gunman Who Shot, Injured 2 in Tarzana

The gunman ran into a residential area after opening fire outside a car wash.

Police are searching for a gunman who shot and injured two men outside a car wash in Tarzana on Monday. The suspect ran into a residential area after firing as many as five rounds, according to witnesses.

Two men were arguing with another man on the street just after 11 a.m. at Reseda and Bessemer Street, police said. 

The men chased after him and he pulled a gun out of his backpack and shot both of them, firing as many as five rounds. 

"The shooter was trying to get away and they kept provoking him into fighting ... he just finally said enough is enough and he pulled out a gun and shot them," witness Robert Khalili said. 

One man was shot in the hip and the other was hit in the leg. They are both expected to survive. 

One bullet struck a car that happened to be driving by on Reseda Boulevard. Nobody in the car was injured. 

Police are hoping that surveillance cameras on nearby businesses captured a portion of the shooting. 

No arrests have been made.
