Man Shot During Argument in N Hollywood

North Hollywood (myFOXla.com) - A man described as an intoxicated transient was shot twice during a street argument with two men in North Hollywood today and police were searching for his attackers, according to a Los Angeles Police sergeant.

The shooting occurred about 1:50 a.m. near Magnolia Boulevard and Vineland Avenue, said Sgt. Mike Kammert of LAPD's North Hollywood Station.

"The victim, 25 years old and a transient, was approached by two men possibly Armenians," Kammert said. "An argument ensued and one of the men pulled a small-caliber handgun and shot the victim twice."

The shooting victim was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was treated for gunshot wounds to the hip and the upper stomach, Kammert said. Neither wound was considered life-threatening.

"We're getting all this from a witness," Kammert said. "The victim won't talk to us. He's still intoxicated and very uncooperative."

Kammert said police were looking for two white males, possibly Armenian, and one may still have the small-caliber handgun used in the shooting.
