that occupies the former Pacific Electric streetcar roadbed that ran from the end of the line at Hollywood & La Brea to Santa Monica & Fairfax.

As we go to press, late breaking news from the Times:

The shooting happened about 8:40 p.m. when a man riding a bike shot at a car in the area of Sunset Boulevard and North Gardner Street, police said.

One victim was taken to a hospital. The person's condition is unknown.

Police said onlookers detained a person a few blocks away, but it was unclear if that person was the shooter.
