A suspect is arrested after firing a BB gun into the crowd near the start of Los Angeles’s World Naked Bike Ride, wounding two people who receive on-scene care for non-life-threatening lacerations.The shooting took place in a parking lot near Temple and Alameda streets as the ride began along two downtown routes of 7 and 9 miles; organizers say the event promotes safer roads and positive body image and that nudity is optional.Witnesses described an adult male on a scooter with tattoos on his face who shouted homophobic slurs; the
Los Angeles Police Department recovered the BB gun, located the suspect near a federal building and says the suspect is awaiting booking while detectives probe motive and participation status.
