Two juveniles were wounded after a Waymo was shot at multiple times in Santa Monica Sunday night.

The Santa Monica Police Department said they received a call around 11:30 p.m. about a shooting near Second Street and Broadway.

When officers arrived, they found two people who had been struck by gunfire. The individuals were taken to the hospital and their conditions remain unknown. A spokesperson for Waymo said a rider was shot while the car was stopped at the intersection.

"Police arrived at the scene within moments and the rider was transported to a nearby hospital. We are coordinating with the authorities and their ongoing investigation," the spokesperson said.

Preliminary information from Santa Monica police says the shooting was a targeted and isolated incident. A verbal altercation occurred earlier in the day between the victims and the alleged shooter. 

Police said the alleged suspect approached the Waymo on foot and began firing multiple shots into the vehicle before fleeing the scene. 

A CBS Los Angeles photographer captured images of the Waymo with multiple bullet holes before it was towed from the scene.
