WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—A man allegedly fired multiple shots inside a West Hollywood apartment complex April 7, injuring a woman in an adjacent unit and sparking an hours-long standoff, but the suspect eluded capture.

The shooting was reported about 8:15 a.m. at the building at Santa Monica Boulevard and La Brea Avenue, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. A sheriff’s spokesman told KNX News at the scene that the woman—in her 50s—was shot twice, once in the upper body and once in the lower extremities by bullets that passed through the wall of her apartment.
