A man was killed and another wounded after a shooting at an apartment building in Rowland Heights late Saturday night. 

According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, deputies were dispatched to the 1900 block of Sierra Leone Avenue around 11:30 p.m. 

They found one man dead at the scene and another suffering from gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital in stable condition, authorities said. 

Residents of the neighborhood said that multiple shots were fired which sent the area into a panic. 

“Somebody just unloaded a whole clip of shots,” said Alfredo Leyva, who lives nearby. “After that, I just turned all the lights off in my apartment and looked out the window [and] the cops came with the helicopter.”
