More than two dozen people were hurt when a vehicle careened into a crowd of people in front of a nightclub in East Hollywood overnight, authorities said. The driver was then pulled from his vehicle, beaten and shot.
Initial reports of a car colliding with a crowd came in around 2 a.m. Saturday in the 4600 block of Santa Monica Boulevard, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. The popular Vermont Hollywood venue is located within that block.

His condition as of 8 a.m. Saturday was not known.
A law enforcement source informed KTLA shortly before 8 a.m. that the man behind the wheel of the car had been removed from the venue for being disruptive and was turned away again after leaving and coming back. Visibly upset, the man left, got into his car and drove to Vermont and Santa Monica, where he made a U-turn and drove onto the sidewalk, hitting the taco stand and valet podium before careening into the crowd.
The shooting is being investigated as a separate incident and no arrests were immediately made in connection with it.

Sounds like a gang-banger situation.
He was lucky he wasn’t curb stomped.
I bet no one saw nuffins.
around 2 a.m.
Nothing good happens at 2 AM.
I used to live right around the corner from there back in the 70’s. Can’t imagine what it’s like now.
Another student of the Waukesha Christmas parade killer.Tht guy killed 5 outright, 1 succumbed, 67 folks injured.
T’is better shot, than play sovchit I defend myself two week trial!
Looks like a neighborhood they filmed episodes of "Hunter" in back in the 1980s.
Let me guess, the driver of the car was either Paco, Jamal or Muhammad
The name of the club is never mentioned. Why?
From the article: "The popular Vermont Hollywood venue is located within that block."
Good.
There should be more immediate consequences like that for trying to kill or maim people.
“The driver was then pulled from his vehicle, beaten and shot.”
Considering the circumstances I don’t have a problem with this.

The entertainment for that evening was the Trapeton Party. They do raggae and hip hop. You can guess the crowd. And running over one of their friends is like trying to rob a cop bar.

One always has to keep in mind that the driver had a seizure. We need more details. But if it was intentional then hang them.
If it was a white male with a MAGA hat, it would be in the headline in ALL CAPS.
He was taken to a hospital, so he was alive. They forgot to double tap to make sure.
