(Oct. 18, 2015, 8:30 p.m.) -- Shots were fired, people ran and a man (adult) was hit in the 2800 block of E. 14th St. near Temple Ave. (area of Orizaba Park) at late Sunday afternoon (Oct. 18) in the 4th Council district.

Initial information is sketchy. LBPD Public Information Officer Sgt. Brad Johnson tells LBREPORT.com that officers responded at about 5;25 p.m. to a report of shots fired in the 2800 block of E. 14th St. At first, no victim was located, but a few minutes later, a gunshot victim appeared (with non-life-threatening wounds) at a local hospital (believed by LBPD to be related to the 14th/Temple shooting.)

LBPD has not made any type of a gang related connection at this point and the circumstances of the shooting are under investigation, Sgt. Johnson said.

The shooting isn't far from Orizaba Park (expanded in 2012 using former RDA "blight fighting" funds.) In August 2014, a new Orizaba Park Community Center was opened. "I'm proud to have been a part of this and many other projects that have enhanced this park and community," said then-Councilmember Patrick O'Donnell in a release at the time. "A tired kid is a good kid and the programs offered at the new community center -- from digital design to computer coding -- are sure to help them succeed in the classroom and workplace."

Councilman Daryl Supernaw has represented the 4th district since early May 2015, succeeding O'Donnell who represented the area since July 2004, pursued a third Council term in 2012 via the write-in term limits bypass procedure, then sought and won a Sacramento Assembly seat in Nov. 2014.

On Oct. 13, 2015, Councilman Supernaw joined Councilman Dee Andrews (primary agendizer), Vice Mayor Suja Lowenthal and Councilwoman Lena Gonzalez in an agenda item proposing to create a "Dog Walker Watch" program in which volunteers walking their dogs would be trained to be observant and report suspicious activity. (The Council voted 9-0 to send the proposal to its Housing and Neighborhoods Committee, chaired by Councilman Andrews.) (LBREPORT.com coverage here.) Councilman Andrews is currently pursuing a third term using the write-in term limits bypass procedure.

On Sept. 22, 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.

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.
