LAPD HQ: A call came in last night. A group of gang members causing a disturbance in Cypress Park—an area which has seen an increase in gang shootings & homicides. LAPD Northeast Officers respond & observe several suspects flee on foot, one tossing a handgun & another tossing a rifle. A perimeter is established, and with the assistance of additional officers from the Northeast Gang Unit & Metropolitan Division K-9, two gang members were arrested for firearms possession & probation violations, and 3 handguns & 2 rifles were recovered. The arrest of these gang members & recovery of 5 firearms prevented additional violent crimes & saved lives—and serves as another example of the proliferation of guns and the difficult circumstances the men and women of the LAPD are dealing with daily.
