Two people are in critical condition today after they were shot at a fruit stand in Long Beach.
Police responded at 6:15 p.m. Friday to a call about shots fired at the corner of Orange Avenue and Market Street, said Long Beach police spokeswoman Arantxa Chavarria.
The victims, who police say are a father and his juvenile son, were taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds and were in critical but stable condition.
At least two suspects fled and there was no description.
“We don’t have a motive in the shooting yet but we think the older male was targeted by the shooters,” Chavarria told City News Service.
There were no further details available and the shooting is under investigation, Chavarria said.
