Police are searching for a gunman after a series of shootings in the Palms area of Los Angeles Thursday afternoon left one dead and three other people injured.

The shootings prompted LAPD to go on a citywide tactical alert, a spokesperson said.

Eight shots were heard in the 3000 block of Motor Avenue around 3 p.m. near Woodbine Park. A woman was heard screaming and a vehicle fled the scene at a high rate of speed, according to an LAPD spokesperson.

One person was killed in the shooting, according to LAPD Sgt. Vincent Aguirre. Three other people were injured, possibly in a separate shooting that was reported at Overland Avenue and National Boulevard, Aguirre said.

If guns are the problem, why don’t they just have a “gunhunt”?
