Two teens were shot in a Cal State L.A. parking lot on Sunday night after taunting people passing by.
The 14-year-old and 18-year-old males were driving in a van around campus "challenging" people, a spokesman for the LAPD Hollenbeck Division told NBC Los Angeles.
The teens parked their car shortly after 9 p.m. at State University Drive and Campus Road and were both shot by a suspect, according to ABC 7.
“Somebody took offense to what they were saying and shot at them,” LAPD Lt. Peter Gamino told the L.A. Times.
The 14-year-old was hit in the stomach and the 18-year-old was struck in the hand. They were taken to the hospital.
Police are still searching for the suspect, and they believe the shooting was gang-related.
