Man Shot In Melrose Gas Station Robbery

HOLLYWOOD, CA — A man was wounded Wednesday at a gas station in East Hollywood, possibly during a robbery attempt.

Officers were summoned just after 5 p.m. to the intersection of Melrose and Western avenues, where they found a man in his 30s conscious and breathing but suffering from at least one gunshot wound, according to Los Angeles Police Department Officer Tony Im.

The shooting possibly stemmed from an attempted robbery at the business, Im said.

Initial reports from the scene indicated the suspects were a male and female, neither of whom were immediately taken into custody.
