    Follow-Up To Accidental Discharge of Park Ranger's Duty Weapon Prompts Parks & Rec & LBPD Probes


    (Sept. 16, 2003) -- LBReport.com has followed up on a Sept. 11 accidental discharge of a Park Ranger's duty weapon in the area of the 3400 block of Golden Ave. Until the facts became clear, the incident triggered a no-nonsense police perimeter that effectively sealed the area from Pacific Ave. to the L.A. river and Wardlow Rd. to the 405 freeway on Sept. 11 from roughly 8:00 p.m.-1:00 a.m.

    LBReport.com has received emails from some impacted residents, angry over the disruption...especially after learning it apparently didn't result from some criminal shots fired but from an accidental weapon discharge.

    Responding to a follow-up inquiry from LBReport.com, Ms. Bert Srack, Acting Manager of Community Recreation Services for LB's Dept. of Parks, Recreation and Marine said Parks & Rec is conducting a complete investigation.

    Ms. Srack indicated the incident is being examined by an independent investigator who works for Parks & Rec. and also does work for LBPD. She said her Department is also cooperating with LBPD in a separate investigation.

    (As previously reported by LBReport.com, LBPD is looking into the matter as it would after the accidental discharge of any weapon in the city.)

    The Dept. of Parks & Rec. is independently examining the matter since Park Rangers are under Parks & Rec. jurisdiction.

    At this early stage, Ms. Srack indicated a chronology is not publicly available, there's no time frame as to when the investigation will be completed and it's uncertain how much will be made public when it is completed.

    However, Ms. Srack indicated that when the investigation is completed, any material publicly releasable will be provided to LBReport.com.

    Stay tuned.
