Two teen-agers and an elderly man were wounded Monday night in a drive-by shooting outside a Taco Bell restaurant in Sepulveda, Los Angeles police said.
The teen-age boy and girl, who were not identified, were taken to Panorama Community Hospital following the 9:20 p.m. shooting, said Sgt. Kent Setty. They were not believed to have been seriously injured, Setty said. The elderly man, who also was not identified, received a superficial wound and was treated at the scene, Setty said.
Witnesses said the victims were standing outside the restaurant at Orion Avenue and Roscoe Boulevard when a brown Mercury Capri pulled up, Setty said. One of two men in the vehicle stepped out and fired two blasts from a shotgun at the victims, Setty said.
The man jumped back in the car, which sped away, heading east on Roscoe, Setty said witnesses told police.
