  • You’ll notice LAPD Officers often patrol with their windows rolled down. It’s so they can hear what’s going on in the neighborhood.

  • Around 11 PM last night LAPD Southeast Area Officers responded to a call of a man with gun in the area of 113th St. & Wilmington Ave. in South LA. When officers arrived, they encountered the suspect who was armed with a firearm and fired at officers. Preliminary, it appears he struck their vehicle, and at that time there was an officer-involved shooting. The suspect moved from where the first officer-involved shooting occurred, still armed with the handgun, and a second officer-involved shooting occurred. The suspect, an adult male Hispanic, was struck by gunfire and pronounced deceased at scene, and the handgun he was armed with will be recovered by detectives. Fortunately, no officers were injured, but this is now the 3rd time in 10 days LAPD Officers have been shot at. 📸@cbsla

  • LAPD is a city with heart—Mr. Delgado has lived in the @lapd_hollenbeck community for 40 years, and in the mornings he gets his rake & helps clean up the neighborhood around the station. A small token of appreciation, but he’s now the proud owner of an official Hollenbeck t-shirt.
