Double Shooting Causes Car Crash At North Hollywood YMCA

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, CA — Two people were shot Friday evening in a car that crashed into a sign outside a YMCA in North Hollywood.

The shooting was reported about 7:45 p.m. in the 5100 block of Tujunga Avenue, near Magnolia Boulevard, according to Officer Drake Madison of the Los Angeles Police Department's Media Relations Section.

The car crashed into a sign outside the East Valley Family YMCA at 5142 Tujunga Ave., KCAL9 reported from the scene.

Madison said when the call came in, one victim was reported to be inside the YMCA and the other in the car.

A male driver was taken to a hospital and a female who was still inside the car was being tended to by firefighters, KCAL9 reported.

The female reported that she had been shot in a leg, Madison said.

A red BMW may have been involved in the shooting, but that was not immediately confirmed, Madison said.
