(Oct. 9, 2015) -- Shots were fired into an inhabited residence in the 3000 block of Delta Ave. (about a block SE of Silverado Park, 7th Council district) on Friday night (Oct. 9.) No one was struck by the gunfire...which occurred just minutes after LBPD responded to a separate Central LB shooting in which a man was hit and taken to a hospital in critical condition (LBREPORT.com coverage here.)

LBPD Watch Commander Lt. Poe Siavii tells LBREPORT.com that at about 9:00 p.m. on Oct. 9, shots were fired into an inhabited dwelling in the 3000 block of Delta Ave.; officers responded; no one was hit and there's no immediate suspect information.

LBREPORT.com notes that about a week and a half earlier and about four blocks south, two men (adults) were shot in the 2600 block of Delta Ave. (WLB, 7th dist.) And a few days ago on Oct. 5, a man was shot in the 1900 block of Caspian Ave (south of the most recent crime scene, a couple of blocks north of PCH, east of Santa Fe Ave., 1st Council district near border with 7th.)

Friday night's (Oct. 9) shootings are the 15th and 16th (of which we're aware) 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 and a half 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.
