Share this @internewscast.com

Four individuals were hospitalized after a shooting erupted during a street takeover in Los Angeles County early Sunday, officials reported. This incident is the latest in a series of violent occurrences linked to illegal gatherings that have recently come under increased scrutiny.

“I’m definitely moving,” expressed a local resident near the Rosemead location to Fox 11 Los Angeles. “It’s frightening. Coming from San Marino, I feel out of place here.”

The shooting unfolded around 2 a.m. local time, with cellphone footage capturing a sizable crowd dispersing in panic as gunshots were fired. Authorities have indicated that all four victims are expected to recover.

Onlookers record a car doing donuts in an intersection.

The woman continued, “It’s disturbing, it’s loud, and now there’s gunfire. It’s outrageous.”

As of now, authorities have not reported any arrests related to the incident.

“Detectives are actively working leads, reviewing evidence and speaking to witnesses,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Alex Ruiz said as investigators canvassed nearby businesses for surveillance footage and collected video recorded by witnesses.

Ruiz said investigators are continuing to review footage from the scene and urged the community to report takeover activity before crowds grow too large for deputies to quickly control.

“Getting the community to call us out before it builds into a large crowd where we can’t control it with a few deputies,” Ruiz said.

The Rosemead shooting comes weeks after another violent street takeover near Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, where a crowd smashed windows and forced its way into a luxury apartment building. One person was stabbed in that incident.

That earlier takeover prompted condemnation from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who called for tougher enforcement and warned that participants would face arrest.

Although Rosemead is outside Los Angeles city limits, Sunday’s shooting quickly drew political reaction as officials and residents alike voiced concern about the spread of increasingly violent street takeovers across the region.

For neighbors living near Sunday’s scene, the fear was more immediate and likely to drive more out of the area.

“This is very scary,” the resident told Fox 11. “That’s why I’m moving. I’m not staying here.”
