Winnetka (myFOXla.com) - Three people were being treated today for non-life- threatening wounds they suffered in a drive-by shooting that followed a stare- down in Winnetka.

The shooting at Oso Avenue and Saticoy Street was reported about 8:35 p.m. Wednesday, said Officer Karen Rayner, a Los Angeles Police Department spokeswoman. All three people suffered leg wounds, she said.

The victims were standing next to a taco truck when someone in a passing vehicle opened fire

"There were six people sitting at portable tables near the taco truck," said Lt. James Roberts of the Los Angeles Police Department's Topanga Station. "One of them got in a staring contest with somebody who walked by, eyeballing.

"Then a vehicle drove by, and one to two three males in the vehicle fired on them," Roberts said. "Three of the six people at the tables were hit."

The three victims were all transported to a hospital for treatment, Roberts said, adding that investigators were treating the incident as gang- related.
