WARNING: video contains graphic images and language
A teenage boy has been arrested in connection with a broad daylight shooting that occurred just outside a high school in the San Gabriel Valley earlier this week.
It’s unclear exactly what time the Aug. 19 shooting occurred, but video of the incident, which unfolded just outside Del Mar High School at the intersection of South Del Mar Avenue and East Broadway, was captured on a motorist’s dash-cam.
In the footage, the gunman is seen firing off nearly a dozen rounds in the direction of three people, two males and a female trailing them, who are walking in the crosswalk.
All three individuals immediately duck and attempt to get out of the line of fire as bullets whiz past them as well as drivers in nearby vehicles.

The gunfire erupted as the motorist whose camera caught the incident was driving into the intersection and had to come to a quick stop to avoid hitting the female as she was fleeing the crosswalk.
The shooter is then seen running north on Del Mar Avenue.
On Aug. 20, officers with the San Gabriel Police Department spotted the suspected gunman outside his home at around 1:45 p.m., police said in a news release.
When detectives approached, the teen fled on and tossed a handgun, which was later recovered.
“The male juvenile was taken into custody without incident,” authorities added. “The alleged suspect is a student from the San Gabriel Unified School District.”
No injuries were reported as a result of the shooting and an investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
