A security guard at a South Los Angeles medical marijuana dispensary was wounded in a gunbattle with three people who tried to rob the place Sunday night, police said.
The would-be robbers entered the dispensary in the area of Crenshaw Boulevard and 54th Street in the Hyde Park neighborhood about 7:20 p.m., said Sgt. Robert Grant of the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street Station.
The security guard, suspecting that the trio was there to rob the store, asked them to leave. When they refused, he pulled out his gun, and that's when the shootout began, police said.
The guard was hit at least once and taken to a hospital, Grant said.
The man's vital signs were stable, but it was not immediately clear if his injury was life-threatening, the sergeant said.
The three people fled out the front door. At least one of them was possibly hit, police said.
Detailed descriptions of the suspects were not available, a spokesman said.
Police planned on reviewing surveillance video.
