The incident occurred around 5:19 p.m., according to a neighboring business owner Norinder Anand, who said someone running away from the shooting fled into his store, alerting him. He went next door to see what was happening and promptly called the police.

Two suspects ran past him, Anand said, turning onto 19th and headed toward Valencia.

Anand said it was the owner of the business who was injured, but he did not know how seriously the victim was injured.

Patrick Haley, a bartender at Teeth, directly across the street, heard no gunshots but said he suddenly saw people running outside; a few of them took shelter in the bar. Later, he saw someone transported out of the store on a stretcher with what appeared to be bandaged hands.

This is a developing story and we will update it as information becomes available.
