Hollywood Hills neighborhood dispute results in a shooting
Police are investigating a Hollywood Hills daytime residential dispute that ended with one man shot Tuesday.
Around 11 a.m., Los Angeles Police Department officers responded to a residence in the 2200 block of Chelan Place.
Neighbors said the shooting was possibly a car sale gone bad.
"To me, I sensed that this guy was going through something," said Steve Costello, the buyer of the car.
One neighbor said they heard the car seller yelling on the street. Another neighbor said the neigborhood has had issues with the man in the past.
Someone tried to calm the man down but was followed by the alleged shooter into his home, where there was a physical confrontation, witnesses said.
"He was asked to leave and when he refused, the homeowner retrieved a firearm and shot the subject," said Officer Charles Miller of the LAPD.
Officers added the neighbor who fired the handgun called 9-1-1 and has been cooperative. No arrests have been made.
Police added the man who was shot was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
