At least one fight and a shooting were reported late Saturday afternoon in
the areas of the Long Beach Pike and The Promenade after hundreds of teens gathered at the Pike for a planned meetup, police said.

A few hours before the violence, the Long Beach Police Department on
social media said it was aware of a gathering planned for the Pike Outlets
area of Downtown Long Beach.

Police then deployed additional resources to the area “to promote safety
for all visitors and deter unlawful activity,” according to a department statement.

At around 5:40 p.m., a fight broke out between a woman and a girl at Bay
Street and Aquarium Way at the Pike, according to LBPD, and officers
quickly stopped the fight.

Officers arrested the two fighters.

Police eventually cleared the teens from the area, using a loudspeaker
around 6 p.m. to threaten them with arrest for trespassing after the
retail and entertainment businesses in the Pike closed early.

News video from the scene showed the two females fighting and getting
arrested, and a male who appeared to be a teenager being loaded into an ambulance.

A news videographer at the scene for OC Hawk reported the male had been
shot at about 6:26 p.m. after an argument broke out between many
juveniles.

Police said the shooting happened a few blocks north of the Pike at 1st
Street and The Promenade and that he was shot in the leg.

Officers rendered aid to the shooting victim until paramedics arrived and transported the boy to a hospital, where he was reported to be stable.

Evidence, including shell casings, was recovered at the scene. There was
no immediate information about a possible shooter, police said.

It’s not clear what led up to the gathering, the fight and shooting. At
one point, teens were seen in the news video fleeing in a chaotic seen.

LBPD planned to increased patrols throughout the evening.
