9-year-old girl, two men wounded in Compton shootings

A 9-year-old girl and two men were wounded Monday night in what authorities believe were related shootings in Compton.

About 8 p.m., two men were shot outside a fish market in a shopping center near Central Avenue and Alondra Boulevard, Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. Marc Lucio said.

The girl was shot in the leg a few blocks away near Central Avenue, he said.

Both men were taken to a hospital. Their condition was not known. The girl was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, Lucio said.

Although the shootings occurred in different locations, both are believed to be part of one overall incident, Lucio said.
