Vandals Suspected Of Shooting At Man Who Confronted Them

LA PUENTE (AP) — Investigators say armed graffiti vandals confronted by a Southern California motorist got into their vehicle and chased the man, peppering his car with bullets.

The motorist wasn't hurt and the two suspects are in jail.

Deputy Benjamin Grubb says the motorist confronted the vandals at about 8:35 p.m. Sunday on Main Street in La Puente.

Grubb says in a statement that 21-year-old Edmond Gail and 26-year-old Raul Montesdeocala then got into their vehicle and chased the man, firing several rounds that struck the man's car. There are no injuries.

The suspects' vehicle was stopped minutes later by deputies who arrested Gail and Montesdeocala. Bail is set at $250,000 each.
