Man Injured in Norwalk Shooting at Torch Club parking lot


Friday, Dec. 18, 2009

NORWALK, CA -

A man was shot in the forearm early Friday morning in the parking lot of the Torch Room Lounge and Bar at 10632 Imperial Highway. 

The Torch Room as been a local "institution" for many here in Norwalk for decades.
Local Sheriff officials said that they did not know what led to the shooting, or how many suspects were involved in the incident.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and his injuries are being classified as "minor." 

This has been a bloody week in Norwalk. 

 A 21-year old Norwalk man was shot and killed Monday night and two others adults were wounded in what Los Angeles County Sheriff Department officials are calling a possible "gang related" murder that occured at the 14500 Block of Piuma Avenue.  The names of those victims have still not been released by officials, and the suspect is still at large. 

If you have any information about either of these crimes, please call the Norwalk Sheriff's Department at (562) 863-8711.
