Four women were shot in South Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon, and one of them was seriously injured, authorities said. Police were searching for three suspects who fled the scene after the shooting.
The incident occurred around 3:15 p.m. at 74th and Figueroa streets, authorities said.
Three of the women are between 50 and 55 years old and were shot in the lower extremities, according to a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman. The age of the fourth victim is not immediately known, nor is the cause of the shooting, said Los Angeles Police Department public information officer Tony Im.
The four victims were taken to a local hospital, one in critical condition and the other three in moderate condition, the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
The suspects' vehicle is a four-door Chevy with black rims that was last seen heading south on Flower Street and 74th St, Im said.
