2 Killed, Teen Injured In Lomita Shooting

LOMITA, Calif. Two men were shot and killed early Tuesday morning outside a Lomita apartment, and a third victim was hospitalized, sheriff's officials said.

Detectives were looking for four suspects, who confronted the victims about 12:01 a.m. in the 25900 block of Narbonne Avenue, according to Deputy Derrick Thompson of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.

The four suspects pulled up in a vehicle and ordered three other people standing with the victims to go into the apartment, sheriff's officials said.

Gunfire erupted, and one person died at the scene, deputies said. The other two victims were taken to a hospital, where one died, deputies said.

A third gunshot victim, a teenager, was reported to have stable vital signs, a deputy said. The victims' names were not released.

Anyone with more information about the killings was urged to call detectives at (323) 890-5500.
