4 men wounded in shootout at pomona swap meet

Four suspected gang members wounded in a shootout at a Pomona swap meet were listed in stable condition Sunday, police said. The shooting began at 11:54 a.m. Saturday at the indoor swap meet

at 1600 E. Holt Ave., said Pomona Police Lt. Leon Sakamoto. Two off-duty Los Angeles police officers working as security guards intervened after one man shot Ernesto Salas, 23, of Ontario,

and a security guard fired at the gunman, police said. A second armed man confronted another security guard and was shot by the guard, Sakamoto said. Salas and three others listed by police

as suspects--Jorge Martinez, 19, Jorge Alarcon, 20, and Aristeo Espinoza, 21--were treated for gunshot wounds at local hospitals, Sakamoto said. None of the injuries was life-threatening, he

said. The guards were not hurt. The shooting stemmed from an argument among the men, who were customers at the swap meet, police said. MORE TO READ
