I see its business as usual in Los Angeles. Sheriff’s detectives today sought a gunman who shot a man in the head on a Metro bus in Hollywood and wounded a second man in a leg before running off.

The shooting on Metro Bus No. 4 on Santa Monica Boulevard, near Wilton Place, occurred about 8 p.m. Friday, according to a deputy with the sheriff’s transit unit, which investigates crimes on buses and trains.

Two men were arguing in the front section of an “articulated” bus, Luis Inzunza of the Metropolitan Transit Authority said. One of them pulled a gun, shot one man in the head and shot another man in the leg, he said.

The man with the head wound was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in critical condition. His name and hospital condition were unavailable early today, but a sheriff’s deputy said he was still alive several hours after the shooting.

The man who was shot in the leg was taken to Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, Inzunza said.

The gunman was believed to be in his 50s. A better description was unavailable.
