Shooting Near Franklin High School Thursday

The shooting occurred at around 3:50 p.m.

Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department's Northeast Division are investigating a shooting that occurred on Thursday afternoon at around 3:50 p.m.  near near 700 Aldama Street.

Nobody appears to have been injured at the scene, though officers are still checking area hospitals for victims, said Sergeant Edward Perez of LAPD Northeast.

The department sent out a tweet at around 3:45 p.m. on Thursday afternoon stating that a "Shooting occurred 5 min ago near Franklin High School, 700 Aldama."

"It was near the school but not involving the school," Perez said. "Two males fired a group of people. The rounds went through the door of a garage nearby."

Perez said the two males then took off on foot and drove away in what witnesses described as a newer model silver Lincoln sedan.

The tweet asks that anyone with information to contact the department through the Crime Stoppers website.

I want peace and quiet in my home. "No way, Jose" believes I should not have peace andRead More quiet in my home. That is a dicatator.

False? Wrong!! I have the letter as proof. Did "no way, Jose" write the letter? IfRead More patch wants to see it, let me know. It is the truth.

Church members want peace and quiet in their own homes but the freedom to force religion on others.Read More And, they want the freedom to force noise into other people's homes. Anyone from Divine Saviour want some noise forced into their home like some banging metal pans?

Jesse is fine. He is campaining for Cedilllo. Neither have ran away. Both have appreciated myRead More help in campaining for Cedillo. His eyeliner must have faded away. All that matters is that he will do more than "no way, Jose" has done in 12 years with "do nothing, Ed Reyes." My problem is not with bells, it is with the noise (amplified sound) from Divine Saviour Catholic Church. You need to get your facts straight. Noise is a mental issue. Divine Saviour Catholic Church is the one with a mental issue. They are hypocrites that they want to force noise on others then they themselves want peace and quiet. Get the facts.

@nonise: Girl, perhaps you should see a doctor. Bells are not your problem. You may have a mentalRead More issue that could be eased with therapy. Cedillo must want to run screaming when you approach him, as did Jesse Rosas, your first crush for councilman. Remember when you threw Cedillo under the bus, for Jesse? You even attacked Cedillo for having tattooed eyeliner. How base. How is Jesse, by the way? Haven't seen him.
