Rodney King shot in face and upper torso in Southern California

Rodney King, whose taped beating by LAPD officers in 1991 sparked a riot, was shot late Wednesday night while riding his bicycle in Rialto, California. King was on his way home when someone shot him in the face, upper torso, and back with a shotgun.

King was able to make it home and call police. Sergeant Don Lewis said King did not give much information on the shooting. He was taken to a local hospital where he was treated for his wounds. King’s injuries are not life threatening.
