Last night, Long Beach police officers were called to a local hospital after a man with a gunshot wound to his lower body was admitted, the Long Beach Police Department reported. The shooting incident, which occurred on Tuesday at roughly 12:11 a.m., is still unknown due to the victim's refusal to cooperate with authorities, leaving them without a specific location for where the shooting may have taken place. The victim had self-transported to the hospital before police were involved.

According to the official LBPD Blotter, the gunshot wound sustained by the male adult is not life-threatening, however, the man’s lack of cooperation has impeded the investigation, and as such, the circumstances behind the shooting, suspect information, and potential motive are still under investigation at this time. This has been a hindrance to the authorities working on the case, who are attempting to uncover what transpired.

The LBPD has not yet disclosed any further details on the case and has not provided an update on the man's condition beyond the initial statement. The department is likely continuing to work behind the scenes to piece together the available evidence and to encourage the individual to provide more information that could help understand the sequence of events that led to his injury and potentially identify a suspect.
