A dispute at the La Mirada Laundromat led to a man being shot on Friday, Feb. 28, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Late Friday morning, deputies responded to the Mirada West shopping center on Valley View Avenue, Sgt. Aldana said. They found a man suffering from gunshot wounds.
The victim had reportedly gotten into an argument with another man over the use of a dryer. The suspect allegedly left the plaza but returned some time later with a friend.
According to authorities, the victim then pulled a knife, prompting the two men to run to a blue Ford Explorer to retrieve a firearm. The shooter fired multiple times, striking the victim in the arm at least twice, Aldana said.
Further details about the victim’s injuries and condition were not immediately available.
News video from the scene showed that gunfire also shattered a window at a nearby business.
The suspect fled the scene, and no arrests have been made.
