LAKE BALBOA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Two people were injured during an attempted carjacking near an elementary school in Lake Balboa Thursday night, according to police.

Officers arrived at the 7800 block of Amestoy Avenue, near Stagg Elementary School, around 8:50 p.m. after the victims were reportedly shot at, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
