People were gathering in the streets and setting off fireworks in traffic to celebrate the Rams victory Sunday night, according to CBS News.
One person was allegedly shot in the leg while others were celebrating in the eastern part of Los Angeles, CBS reported.

People were also seen standing on top of cars and vandalizing city busses in celebration. One group set off fireworks inside a bus.
People got inside the bus and were setting off fireworks inside of it. It’s smoking. One guy just passed me holding his injured hand screaming “fuck!”
