Los Angeles Daily News 2 teens shot at Valley bus stop Drive-bypossibly was gang-related By Ryan Oliver Staff Writer Tuesday, July 13, 2004 - PACOIMA -- Continuing a wave of bloodshed in the northeast San Fernando Valley, two teenagers were shot Tuesday just two blocks from the site of a weekend melee that left one person dead and eight others wounded, officials said. Both teens were expected to survive the afternoon drive-by shooting, with one suffering three gunshot wounds to the leg and the other struck once in the leg. Detectives said the incident at a bus stop at Van Nuys and Glenoaks boulevards may be gang-related. It comes on the heels of the deadly shooting Sunday afternoon in Lake View Terrace, which stemmed from a feud between two neighboring families, and the stabbing of seven people on Saturday at a birthday party in Pacoima. A 34-year-old man was booked on suspicion of felony assault in the stabbings, while the suspect in the shootings was still at large. "We've had a very difficult three or four days," said Capt. Kirk Albanese, commander of the LAPD's Foothill Division. "We have been bracing for the summer for a long time now. A lot of our violence comes during the hot summer months, and that marine layer has just burned off. We have plans in place to deal with this. "We have directed patrol efforts to the communities where the crime occurred in an effort to make a presence." Tuesday's shooting occurred just after 3 p.m., when a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were shot by two black males driving a white Chevrolet Monte Carlo. "They were very injured, they were leaking a lot of blood," said Golrokh Daghighian, the owner of a general store both victims limped into after being shot. "They said there was a shooting and they told me to please call 911. I had a very bad feeling. I was very confused."
