Two people, including a teenage boy, were shot Tuesday in Exposition Park, police confirmed to KTLA.
Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of the shooting in the area of Western Avenue and Exposition Boulevard just after 4:30 p.m.
At the scene, police located two gunshot victims, one described as a 15-year-old boy and a 40-year-old man who was not conscious but was breathing, police said.
Both victims were rushed to the hospital by paramedics with the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Aerial footage of the scene showed a heavy presence of police with the intersection cordoned off for first responders. In footage posted to the Citizen app, investigators appeared to be concentrated at the Expo/Western Metro stop.
Preliminary reports suggested two suspects fled the scene after the shooting, who were detained, though police have yet to confirm that detail.
The intersection is expected to remain closed for several hours while police investigate.
