Last night, tensions stirred in Long Beach as gunshots rang out in a peaceful residential block. At around 10:21 p.m. on October 19th, the Long Beach Police Department rushed to the 700 block of Cherry Avenue in response to a call about shots being fired, according to the LBPD Blotter. The police arrived to find remnants of a shooting, though the bullets hit no one.
Kicking off an investigation, officers scoured the scene for clues left by the suspect—or suspects—who had vanished before the law's arrival. The details surrounding the motive and the responsible individuals are still being pieced together by the authorities.
The Long Beach Police Department has reassured the community that no injuries were reported as a result of the gunfire.
The LBPD asks anyone with information on the shooting to come forward as they continue their thorough investigation.
