 Additional details from NextDoor.com on the shooting.

Last night(2/4/18), at about 9:30PM, 3 people were shot with a paintball gun in our neighborhood. The first one was in the 22700 blk of Greenwood, just east of the YMCA. The man was out for a walk going northbound on the west sidewalk when he heard a vehicle driving north start yelling at him. When he turned he saw several teenagers in a dark colored(possibly green) vehicle. One of the occupants proceeded to shoot the man at least 5 times, once directly in his eye(he may go blind). Within minutes of him calling in, a second victim called 911 reporting the same circumstances at Maple/Sepulveda. This victim was walking with a friend and the friend observed several teenagers in what appeared to be a dark colored Isuzu SUV pull up next to them, and a teenager wearing some sort of mask, shot the friend several times, also in the face. The witness also saw the suspects shoot at a separate female who ran across Sepulveda and out of sight. That female never contacted the police. The vehicle drove west on Sepulveda and out of sight. It is a very unfortunate event for all those involved, and reminder to stay vigilant.

Vehicle Description Color: Dark, possibly green Make: Isuzu Type: SUV
