• UPDATE 2:15 p.m.: Officers Investigate Hit-Shooting - Today at approximately 1:25 p.m., officers were dispatched to the area of Long Beach Boulevard and Willow Street regarding an assault with a deadly weapon. Upon arrival, officers contacted a male adult victim with a gunshot wound to the lower body. Long Beach Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and transported the victim to a local hospital for his injuries. Preliminary investigation suggests the victim and a male adult suspect were engaged in a verbal dispute which escalated when the suspect shot the victim. The suspect fled on foot prior to officers’ arrival. No additional injuries were reported, and the investigation is ongoing.
