1:05pm | A shooting early Tuesday injured a Long Beach man near the intersection of 8th Street and Cedar Avenue in the Willmore City neighborhood, authorities say.

Police responded to a Shots Fired call around 10:36 am today, after witnesses reported hearing between 6-8 shots. A 22-year old male was apparently standing on the sidewalk when he was struck and injured in the lower body. It is unclear whether the shooter was driving or on foot.

The injured man has been transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, but is not cooperating with detectives’ investigation thus far. Police are saying that the incident may be gang-related.

We will have more information soon.
