The driver was shot after driving into the crowd

The police in Los Angeles suspect that the man who injured 30 people by driving into a crowd in the city on Saturday did it intentionally, reports the Washington Post.

After the incident, passersby allegedly pulled the driver out of the car, after which he was beaten by several people and then shot by an individual. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and is expected to undergo surgery.

The incident occurred outside a nightclub where the driver had allegedly been arguing with several people. Local police officer Horacio Aguirre says that after the argument at the club, the man “for some reason decided to run over the people on the sidewalk.”
