30 hurt after car plows into crowd in LA; driver pulled out of car and shot: Police

At least 30 people were injured after a car plowed through a crowd early Saturday in East Hollywood, Los Angeles, authorities said.

After the crash, the driver was pulled from the car by bystanders and then shot and wounded by an unknown person, who remains at large, police said.

Police identified the driver as 29-year-old Fernando Ramirez. He was taken to the hospital after the shooting but has been booked into jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The district attorney will determine formal charges in the coming days.

The incident began unfolding around 2 a.m. local time outside the music venue The Vermont, near the intersection of Santa Monica Boulevard and Vermont Avenue in east Los Angeles.

As of Saturday afternoon, at least one person -- a woman in her 20s with leg injuries -- was still in critical condition, police said, with several others in serious condition. In total, 24 patients were taken to the hospital.
