A man who was walking with actress Bonnie Somerville early Saturday morning was shot in an attempted robbery after leaving the T-Mobile G1 launch party in Hollywood.
Somerville, who played Ross' girlfriend Mona on Friends, was walking on Sunset Boulevard around 2 a.m. with the victim and a female friend.
A Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson tells E! "It appears the shooting occurred during an attempted robbery. Two male suspects approached a white male on foot and attempted to rob him."
According to another officer, a struggle broke out after a robber demanded Somerville's purse, and one of the suspects shot the man with a .22-caliber pistol. The robbers fled in a tan-colored sport utility vehicle without taking anything.
The unidentified victim was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he is listed in good condition and expected to survive. No one else was hurt.
Somerville's rep tells E! that "Bonnie is fine" and will issue a statement by the end of the weekend.
Other celebs at the T-Mobile party included Molly Sims, Brittany Snow, Mischa Barton and 90210 stars Jessica Stroup, Adam Gregory and Ryan Eggold.
