A man in his mid-20s was shot in the right ankle Monday in North Hollywood, authorities said.
It was reported at 8:51 p.m. when the victim and his friends went to a Ralphs supermarket at Vineland Avenue and Magnolia Boulevard, said Lt. I. Verduzco of the Los Angeles Police Department’s North Hollywood Station.
The man was taken to a hospital for treatment, Verduzco said.
Police do not believe the shooting happened at the supermarket, he said. The victim is a suspected gang member who is not cooperating with investigators and may have shot himself in the ankle.
