A man suffered life-threatening gunshot wounds in Long Beach in an apparent road rage shooting.
The shooting was reported at about 10:55 a.m. Saturday on Palo Verde Avenue at East Los Santos Drive, which is between Atherton Street and Stearns Drive, according to Long Beach Police Department spokesperson Jordan McGinley.
“The preliminary investigation indicates that the male adult victim and a male adult suspect were involved in a minor traffic collision, and the victim led the suspect to an alley where a shooting occurred,” McGinley said.
Long Beach Fire Department paramedics took the victim to a hospital, where he had stable vital signs, McGinley said.
The suspect remained at the scene and was arrested without incident, she said.
A firearm was recovered and the investigation continued.
Hours later, by coincidence, police were called to another armed driver in a road rage situation, this time near Alamitos Beach.
