LITTLEROCK – Two young men were shot and injured in Littlerock Friday, sources said.

A shooting was reported around 11:41 a.m. Friday, April 10, on 100th Street East and Avenue R-8, according to Lt. Johnson of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still under investigation and no further information is being released at this time, Johnson said Saturday morning. Johnson did not confirm the number of gunshot victims.

Two males riding in a vehicle were shot at by a gunman in a white sedan at the intersection of 100th Street East and Avenue R-8 in Littlerock, according to a Palmdale Station crime broadcast.

The victims were not at the scene when deputies arrived, according to witnesses. The victims apparently drove themselves home to the 10300 block of East Avenue R-8 and sought help from their neighbor, Jesus.

Jesus said he was returning from the grocery store when he saw the two young men, and they told him they had been shot.

“They asked me if I can take them to the hospital, and I loaded my groceries out of my truck and I put [the victims] in my truck and took them over there to emergency care,” Jesus said.

The good Samaritan transported the victims to South Valley Health Center on 40th East near Palmdale Boulevard.

“Unfortunately, the people over there don’t have emergency care services, so they called 9-1-1 and the ambulance,” Jesus said. “Also, the police came over here to investigate what happened.”

Both victims appeared to be Hispanic males between the ages of 18 and 25. Their injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

The shooting remains under investigation and no further information was available Saturday morning. Anyone with information on this incident is urged to contact Palmdale Sheriff’s Station detectives at 661-272-2400.

    Who reads a story about a shooting and then makes a comment about a Deputy’s pants?

    More illegal alien hijinx where the losers are the taxpayers who foot the bill for these miscreants. Here alone we are talking probably 10 to 20K.

      Yeah, lets start out by blaming the victims. No way that could go wrong.

      It’s people like you the keep racism alive!!!! Not everyone with Hispanic heritage in an Illegal alien. Matter of fact California was a part of Mexico, before it was part of the USA. Please have an open mind, and remember this country wasn’t settled by the white man, it was taken by the white man. By the way i’m a white man

        Mark, save the bull of crap for someone else. Get your facts straight, Spaniards are considered White Men, who took the places you speak of. Ca. Is no longer Mexico so immigrants from Mexico do not have a right to be here if they are not legal.

          What i was saying is just because somebody is of Mexican descent, that doesn’t make them illegal. I’ve had friends that were full blooded Mexican, and they were born in this country. Please understand before you comment. Just because you see a certain skin color on a person, you’ve assumed that person is an illegal alien. This isn’t always the case. Please don’t assume things. It just makes you sound ignorant, and a bit racist. thank you for your feed back. It was very much appreciated. I do a Jack, not sure if it’s the one you’re referring to. Maybe we’ll have to ask Jack and we can get together, and talk about race issues together.

    My guess would be that they got shot by a gang-banger. Yes, Littlerock has some gang-bangers, although they hardly shoot anybody ever.

    Look at the skinhead storm troopers standing around not doing anything while sucking up the taxpayer dime. Get back to work you do…chebags! I’m sure if they looked hard enough they could find some unarmed people to beat on or somebody to plant some evidence on.

        Cops are reactive they don’t save lives, cops take lives.

        avoid cops and you stand a better chance of living to a good old age.

      Why should the sheriff need to do that if almost 99% here in the AV wears them like this?
