PALMDALE, Calif., Jan. 25 (KNN) — Two people were injured after a Metrolink train was fired upon by a gunman who is currently outstanding.

Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Palmdale Station responded to the Metrolink Station on 39000 Clock Tower Plaza Drive in Palmdale for a shooting shortly before 10 p.m. Wednesday.

Upon arrival, they discovered a male suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. The victim was treated at the scene and transported to a local hospital for his injuries.
