A gunman shot a driver, Fernando Ramirez, who had intentionally driven into a crowd outside a popular East Hollywood music venue, injuring many. The driver had been previously ejected from the venue and returned before causing chaos by hitting people and vendors. In the aftermath, police reported about 30 additional injuries, with seven critically hurt. Ramirez faced felony charges and was in stable condition after surgery. The incident raised concerns about potential mass casualties amidst chaotic scenes with witnesses describing the event as unprecedented.
"The driver, identified by police as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez, had been thrown out of the Vermont Hollywood club that night, before returning to the area in a vehicle around 2 a.m., according to LAPD."
"Given the scale of the crowd, Fernandes said the incident could have easily spiraled into a mass casualty event. 'Quite honestly, I believe it is a miracle,' Fernandes told NBC-4 News."
