(Oct. 7, 2015, 4:48 a.m.) -- A few minutes after the City Council adjourned its Oct. 6 meeting, Long Beach had its 14th shooting in two weeks: a man was shot in the area of Paramount Blvd./South St. (border of 8th/9th Council districts.)

Initial information is sketchy. LBPD overnight Watch Commader Lt. Mark Coble tells LBREPORT.com that at about 9:50 p.m., LBPD responded to reports of shots fired in the 2600 block of South St.; officers arrived and found numerous gun casings and a man (adult) shot.

LBFD transported the victim to a hospital with what are described as non-life-threatening wounds...and gang detectives are conducting an investigation.

Tuesday night's (Oct. 6) shooting is the 14th shooting since Tues. Sept. 22...when the City Council's Public Safety Committee (chair Price, vice chair Supernaw, member Austin) heard an LBPD report on shootings but made no recommendations and didn't refer the matter to the full City Council. The two week period also includes a homicide, part of four fatal shootings in September.

On Sept 15 and 22, the Council voted (without dissent) for a FY16 budget, recommended by Mayor Robert Garcia, that failed to restore LBPD's former field anti-gang unit and 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.
