LBPD Public Information Officer Marlene Arrona tells LBREPORT.com that officers were dispatched at 12:24 p.m. and found evidence of a shooting although no persons or property were located. [Scroll down for further.] |
On April 9th, 2016, a man (adult) was shot in the area of Linden/Norton roughly half a mile northeast closer to South St. (8th dist.)
On Sept 15 and 22, 2015 the Council voted (without dissent) to adopt a FY16 budget, recommended by Mayor Robert Garcia, that failed to restore LBPD's former field anti-gang unit. It leaves LB taxpayers with a budgeted police level for citywide deployment roughly equivalent per capita to what L.A. would have if L.A.'s Mayor and Council cut roughly 30% of LAPD's officers. In August 2012, Mayor Foster first recommended the budgeted elimination of LBPD's field anti-gang unit. The Council balked, funded the unit at half strength for a year, but in subsequent years quietly let it disappear. Other recent shootings:
