One man was hit in a shooting this afternoon, and so far he isn't talking, according to the sheriffs.
Lt. Elisabeth Sachs of the Crescenta Valley sheriff station said that the victim is in stable condition at a local hospital and is "not forthcoming with information," she said. The call came into the sheriffs at about 2:45 PM.
Mariposa Street between Fair Oaks Avenue and Highview was blocked off and evidence tags, such as used to identify placement of shell casings, were placed inside the perimeter, according to neighbors who've contacted Altadenablog.
Sachs said that the suspects are described as two black males, who left the scene in a vehicle of unknown description heading in an unknown direction.
UPDATE 5/22: Lt. Michael White of Altadena Sheriff Station said that they are putting the location of the shooting at Mariposa and McNally. Sheriffs still aren't revealing much information while the investigation is ongoing, but White said that it was believed to be gang-related.
