A man pumping gas at a Northridge fuel station was shot in the back Tuesday morning by an attacker armed with a BB gun, police said.
The victim was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries following the shooting at a Speedway in the 19000 block of Parthenia Street.
The shooting, which authorities said appeared to unprovoked, was reported at about 6:30 a.m. The victim was at a fuel pump when someone approached from behind and shot him in the back, police said.
No arrests were reported late Tuesday morning. A detailed description of the shooter was not available.
“It’s random, it’s senseless,’ said customer Rob Kirkava. “Obviously, it shows a lack of morality.”
