(Sept. 2, 2015, 6:45 a.m.) -- While the City Council was meeting last night (Sept. 1), shots were fired in the area of 16th St./Pine Ave. (1st Council district.) No person was hit, but a parked vehicle was struck and was likely gang related (information per overnight Watch Commander Lt. John Kanaley.) It was the second shooting within roughly twelve hours. Earlier in the day (Sept. 1), gunfire was heard and a man (adult) was hit in the area of 10th St./Olive Ave. at midmorning; at midafternoon, LBPD announced the arrest of a suspect on booking charges of attempted murder.. The Sept. 1 gunfire came two weeks to the day after Councilmembers held a hearing on LBPD's FY16 budget; no Councilmembers made any motions, or indicate any willingnes to do so in coming weeks, to restore all of part of LBPD's former field anti-gang unit, or any of roughly 200 officers Mayor recommended/Council enacted budgets have erased since 2009. On Aug. 24, shots were fired but no person and no property were hit in the area of 16th/Pine...and a night before that (Aug. 23), a man was shot and killed in the area of PCH/Pine Ave. (border of 1st and 6th districts.)

On Aug. 28, a man was shot and wounded in what appeared to be a "walk up" shooting in the area of 10th St./Virginia Court (between Magnolia and Chestnut Aves.) roughly a mile due north of City Hall in the historic Willmore City area (1st Council district.) It's being investigated as possibly gang related. [Scroll down for further.]
About an hour after that shooting, LBPD officers were on an unrelated call at St. Mary hospital when a man approached them with two stab wounds and indicated he'd been stabbed in the 1000 block of Pine Ave. That incident is also being investigated as possibly gang related. On Aug. 27, a woman (adult) was shot and wounded, and some cars were damaged by gunfire in the Seaside Park/14th St. Park area near Chestnut Ave. (1st district.) Scroll down for further
And on Aug. 24, gunfire wounded a 17 year old male in the Wrigley area (Burnett St./Linden Ave., 6th district.)
