Two people were shot and wounded after a suspect walked into a Venice barber shop and opened fire this morning, police said.

It happened about 9:30 a.m. in the 1900 block of Lincoln Boulevard, LAPD Officer Richard French told the Weekly.

One victim was shot in the foot and …

… was treated by paramedics at the scene, he said. Another turned up at a nearby hospital, apparently taken there by private car.

French said both had “non-life-threatening injuries.”

Police were looking for a man in a hooded sweatshirt this morning, he said.

We found only one such hair business in that block, Pico Barbershops at 1920 Lincoln Boulevard. Here's its Yelp listing.

[Added]: Note that photos from the Yelp listing depict a pool table under a “beer” sign inside the shop.

That's a full-service destination if you ask us.
