(May 22, 2015) -- Shots were fired at midmorning Friday (May 22) on the north edge of Alamitos Beach -- 1100 block E. 4th St. -- although no victim was identified. LBPD Public Information officer.Sgt. Megan Zabel says that at about 9:23 a.m. today (May 22) officers were dispatched to a "shots heard" call in the area of the 1100 block of E. 4th Street...and officers DID locate evidence of a shooting although it doesn't appear that any person was hit (no victim(s) located.)

In September 2014, a "no hit shooting" occurred [in the 1 a.m. hour] one block east in the 1200 of E. 4th St...and LBPD subsequently located a suspect and made an arrest. Also in Sept. 2014, a Council majority approved without dissent, a FY15 (Oct 2014-Sept. 15) budget (recommended by both current Mayor Garcia and former Mayor Foster) that fails to fund (for the second year in a row) LBPD's now-former field anti-gang unit. The field anti-gang unit previously deployed twenty officers officers plus two sergeants in gang impacted areas where they could interact with residents and gather intelligence. LBPD continues to maintain a conventional gang unit (often working indoors on investigations and the like) but L.A. County's second largest city no longer has the field anti-gang unit that LB taxpayers had until September 2012. [Scroll down for further.]
