On Monday, August 22, at about 8:20 pm, Burbank Police Officers responded to the 1500 block of Scott Rd., regarding a shooting and man down. Upon arrival, officers found a 22 year-old Burbank resident on the sidewalk suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his lower body.
The victim was treated at the scene by Burbank Fire Department Paramedics and transported to a local hospital for treatment. He has since been released from the hospital.
Investigators interviewed the suspect and witnesses and identified a second person, a 27 year-old Burbank resident who was also shot at, but not struck during the shooting.
