Man Shot In Head Outside Sherman Oaks Restaurant
SHERMAN OAKS
A man shot another man in the head today outside a bar in Sherman Oaks and fled, police said.
The shooting occurred about 2 a.m. outside Smiles Nightclub on Ventura
Boulevard near Woodman Avenue, said Sgt. S. Nunez of the Los Angeles Police Department's Van Nuys Station.
The wounded man was hospitalized in serious condition, said LAPD Officer
April Harding.
A preliminary report by police said that two men were wounded when a gun fell and discharged during a scuffle between them was inaccurate, Harding said.
It was reported that the suspect, in his 20s, was inside the club with another man and a woman before the shooting, and security cameras captured his image, which was released by police.
A motive for the shooting was unknown.
