One man killed, one wounded in South L.A. shooting

A man was fatally shot and another was wounded during a possible home invasion in South Los Angeles early today, authorities said.

The shooting occurred about 2:13 a.m. in the 9000 block of Stanford Avenue near 90th Street, said LAPD Officer Norma Eisenman. 

Two men broke into a single-family home, then shot one man in the residence in the torso and the other in the neck, she said. Both victims, who were not identified, were taken by paramedics to hospitals. The man who was shot in the torso died, Eisenman said. The two victims were 30 to 40 years old.  

The incident is being investigated as gang-related, police said.

What is the world coming too? Took my daughter out of public school because of the conditions, to keep her home because of H1N1, moved from central LA, to the west to avoid the gangs, and drugs, to move into a crime ridden area. moved my money from a 401K to a Roth IRA, which value canned over the past couple of years, just found a good job after working for the same company 15 years who let me go to hire two new guys that both combined can not perform the work I did, so I guess you get what you pay for, because both of them combined do not make what I did.

I did everything in my power to make my community safer, to be informed that LA may be releasing thousands of criminals back onto the streets in my neighborhood.

I guess its time to move to Organ, I have been putting it off because in the back of my mind, that the mayor would turn it around. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! He is digging us deeper and deeper into a hole we may never climb our way out of.

Hey Kevin. Sorry to hear about recent events down there. Nevertheless, please don't move to 'Oregon' (you wrote "Organ" and yes while it is a noun, I've yet to discover a place under this name). As a native Oregonian, I can't tell you how much transplanted Californians are resented here. We are a different culture, maybe you should consider Las Vegas, Nevada.
