Alex Stone, there is a growing call in California for federal agents who are conducting immigration enforcement to drop masks and wear gear that looks more like traditional law enforcement. The agents are typically covering their faces, wearing sports team baseball caps and street clothing like hoodies and jeans with vests that often only say "Police" or "Federal Agent" on them. They drive civilian-looking cars and toss arrestees in them and drive off. // Michael Monks, Zero tolerance for illegal fireworks. Hollywood has its first public bathroom.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. KFI AM
six forty. It's Conway Show. Let's get right to Alex Stone,
who's with us from ABC News. A growing call in
California for federal agents who are conducting immigration and forcemen
to drop their masks.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Alex Stone, how you Bob ding Don?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Tim Dong with you? So we're sort of getting back
to a little bit. I saw news today other than
the ice raids, and.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm wondering, Look, you work in news. I work in news.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Are there still stores being robbed and jewelry stores being
robbed and we're not seeing it because the immigration is
taking up all the oxygen?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
You know, there may be I mean, I mean there's
low level ones, but all the like sophisticated ones that
were going on. It seems like that we've had a
little break in those that. Yeah, yeah, like out in
seem Me Valley and other places where they were having
them crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, I haven't heard of any of those.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
And then today the police shooting in Santa The officer
who was shot at it doesn't sound like he shot
back in Santa Monica that we're learning about now. So yeah,
I mean there are other things that go on, but yeah,
we're kind of getting back to regular news man.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Doesn't it seem like this is going to be a
summer of just tension?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It does?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
You know?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Where we're what like three weeks in the what we
would consider to be summer, and it's been NonStop.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
So the issue that is cropping up is in these
immigration arrests that are going on all over southern California
since the push by the administration over the last few weeks.
Is that like yesterday, the LAPD went racing lights and
sirens to what was called in as a kidnapping in
downtown LA and they got there and turned out to
(01:41):
be federal agents making immigration arrests. Like two weeks ago,
there was a hit and run that was reported that
people had crashed into a car and taken somebody out
of there, and they got there and LAPD traffic officers
were investigating later to find out it was an ice
operation to arrest somebody. So there's a lot of mistake
and identity going on. And then also you have community
(02:04):
activist groups who want to make that report and are
calling it in claiming that they're kidnappings. But typically the
federal agents are completely well except for their eyes, covering
their faces with masks or with gator type coverings. They
refuse to say anything of what they're doing to anybody there.
They don't wear uniforms. They wear street clothing and usually
professional sport team baseball hats. They often not always have
(02:28):
tactical vests on that don't clearly indicate what agency they're with.
It'll say police or federal agent on it, but that's it,
or it'll stay very small somewhere what agency it is,
but not from a distancy, you can see no name,
no badge number, no ID number. They're driving on marked
civilian looking typically minivans and SUVs, and they jump out,
sometimes very quickly. We'll grab their target and get out
(02:50):
of there before a crowd can gather. Understandably, why with
what's been going on, But that is why now some
lawmakers in the state that they want a law that
will say that law enforcement has to be more identifiable,
that they look more like what we would think of
as law enforcement. State tender Scott Wiener, a Democrat, said.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Law enforcement officers or public servants and people should be
able to see their faces, see who they are, know
who they are. Otherwise there's no transparency and no accountability.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So what is bill would do? It require the law
enforcement uncover their faces, with some exceptions a swat team
or if there's tear gas in the air or a
virus or smoke, then they could do it, but just
in regular operations that they wouldn't be able to do
it and have some kind of uniform and identifying information
of what agency they're from, and even if it's a
serial number that it would go back to them internally
(03:42):
if somebody were to know that number and to prove
that they're real cops. Part of the issue has been
and police have always dealt with it really around the world,
but here in the US is police impersonators who are
out there who by all appearance, you know a lot
of these agents kind of look like police impersonators.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
That with any big numbers or at all, I mean it.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Has historically it has a lot of times when there're
been burglaries, people will yell police and come in and
try to look like police. So you know, if a
criminal yells police and as a best on to rob
somebody or kidnaps them, how do you know if it's
an operation that is legit or not. So that's where
the lawmakers are saying, Hey, is there some kind of
uniform something that can make them look more efficient.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I don't need law enforcement officers who are covering their faces,
who are not identifying themselves, who are jumping out of
unmarked vehicles.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Now, the other side of this is within law enforcement,
the uncovering the faces worries because of these groups that
will try to identify them and put their names and
addresses online and put their families at risk, and that
that is a real concern. Bill Thomas, you know his name,
former sheriff's deputy law enforcement analysts. Now he says that's
a real concern.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
There are certain bad actor groups that go out there
and will target law enforcement and even public officials to
identify them on the internet, their families, loved ones.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
So there's a number of things that you know, the
FEDS are probably going to continue doing whatever they want
to do, and they typically don't wear a real uniform
when they go and do it. But there could be
a middle ground some cities what they have done now
outside of LA I think even the Sheriff's department does
this a bit now, where it's just a number on
their chest that publicly it doesn't mean anything. But if
you say, well, I had a bad interaction with eight five,
(05:21):
six nine one, then they can look up who that
was and figure it out. But so there could be
a law. But you know what, if the state of
California passes a law that would impact local and state police,
the FEDS could probably just continue doing whatever they want
to do.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh, I say, okay, but you know Tom Holman, who
I believe it's the acting Director of US Immigration and
custom Behind.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, it was the Immigrations are I think is what
the White House calls him.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yet he is not living with his wife because he
has had so many threats against him. Yeah, and so
I said to my wife, I'd go, hey, you know,
LA's pretty tense. Maybe we should die use different homes
for the next three years while this calms down. Shit,
just in case somebody thinks he went on RAI. She
didn't bite, she didn't, she didn't do it. But he's
(06:04):
living separately from his wife. So, you know, because there
a lot there's a lot of anxiety out there right now.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I mean, it's even be an issue for the LAPD
over the years of groups that have put up their
officers photos and their their ranks and all of that.
I think there's two different issues here. One, you've got
the covering of the faces, which I mean, quite honestly,
when you're out and seeing this, it does kind of
look like the images that we've always seen out of Mexico.
You know when agents capture somebody and then take photos
and they've got sunglasses on and masks over their faces,
(06:32):
black masks. It's that same look that's going on right
now in the US with our federal agents. But separately
from that is the issue of the no uniforms and
the unmarked cars, and the limited identifying information on vests
and sometimes no vests and just street clothes. That that
is where it's running into an issue for the LAPD
(06:52):
and i'm sure other agencies as well, where they're not
briefed on what's going on because of the separation between
the laws of Feds and low what they can do,
where they're going Code three to these calls thinking that
they're racing hot to a kidnapping and it turns out, oh,
it's just another ice raid.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That so that backfired.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You know, they told everybody to report a kidnapping and
that backfired.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I mean it's the hidden run.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Seems like that that was a true where the onlookers
thought it was a hit and run, that they didn't
understand what was going on.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
About two weeks ago the kidnapping, we don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
There were activists who were there who are making the
claims that it was still a kidnapping and that the
LAPD help them with the kidnapping. The LAPD says no,
that they had to do what they always do to
get peace in the streets and move everybody back, and
they're not going to allow federal agents to be injured,
but they're not going to take part in the actual operation.
So what they got was a very urgent nine one
one call of a kidnapping. If that caller knew it
(07:46):
was federal agents or believed it was really.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
A kidnapping, isn't really clear.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Crazy buddy, appreciate you coming on. Are you could do
anything for the fourth? You staying in town. I'll be
working on the fourth, so I'll be around.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
All right, I will too.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, Well, Roger and Roll, that's right, buddy. Thanks man,
you're the best. All right, Alex Stone with ABC News.
That guy's tops man. I always enjoy starting the show
with that man. Very knowledgeable dude. That's what we should do, Belly, Yeah,
let's do that. Let's start with Alex Stone every day.
Then I can come in at four twenty for twenty
(08:18):
Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
No, I do not. That will not be happening. I
think it will.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
There's a not in Santa Monica shooting at cops. It
could be the same guy also shooting at the kids
in the waymow and we all have more on that story.
It's developing. It looks like they caught the guy and
we're gonna have audio on that when we come back
at four thirty. But first, Monks is here, Yes, look
at you, buddy. So we got a lot going on
in La There's a lot of it. The immigration's going on,
(08:53):
you know, the weather. We've got a small earthquake yesterday.
We've got you know, troops from National Guard, we've got
the Marines in town.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
But we also have other local news like toilets. You know,
there's it is kind of a serious thing when you
think about it. Think about when you're driving around the
city proper. Now when you're out in the suburbs, the suburbs,
it's a differently. When I go out to the suburbs,
I think, oh my god, there's no code to go
to the bathroom. My deodorants not locked up like alcatraz I.
Speech in and grab it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
There are many parts of Los Angeles where if you
are out and about and you've got to take a leak, yeah,
there's nowhere to go, not even gas stations exactly, you
just cannot go. They're trying to change that, and they
push forward a policy at City Hall today to place
a public toilet in Hollywood near the Walk of Fame.
(09:45):
Nothing about it's a big tourist attract Think of all
the touris that hit the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's
one of the muss seas if you come to LA
and you got nowhere to drop a deuce or or
to take a leak, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And so they're trying to fix that.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
And Councilman Hugo Soda Martinez, who represents Hollywood at LA
City Hall, here's a he did a lot of puns.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, so I pulled the sound for you. Would you
like to hear it? All right? Foos shut Stephie doesn't
have that sound bite he's eating. He's got to look
it up. Well. You know, he talked about it as
if it was a very serious thing.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
You know that this was something that he wanted to
get on as soon as he got into office. That
there was just absolutely nowhere to use the restroom in Hollywood.
Let's hear from him.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
I thought it was outrageous that the number one most
famous tourist destination in the world had no place for
you to go number two. And together with the Hollywood Partnership,
we rolled up our sleeves and took care of business.
But within a year or so you'll finally be able
to take a break in Hollywood's You don't have to
(10:54):
hold it in anymore. And before you start pooh pooing
this motion, these bathrooms will be clean, fully staffed, and
part of the new visitor center in the heart of
Hollywood that will help to risk get around. By the way, who.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Wrote these tps? Oh my god, So be on.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
The lookout for your invitation to the first inaugural Flesh
in Hollywood, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
These are going to come in around a million. Two yeah,
probably if we know LA.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
So they're entering into a lease agreement to spend about
a Los Angeles is expected to provide one million dollars
through what is known as Community Redevelopment Agency at the
City of Los Angeles. Excess bond proceeds to fundness. It
will also have, as he noted, a visitor center attached
to it. They promised to keep it clean and safe.
Will you use that bathroom?
Speaker 9 (11:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It depends on which Panda Express I use. How urgent
the situation is. By the way, I got to call
Mark Thompson's one day Ruter and Plumbing or whatever that is,
because I my plumber, said one more Panda.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Express run and he's done. Yeah, you're gonna have to
go higher. He's out. We're too.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I think I'd use it if it's clean, but it's
not going to be. You know, we know that.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
I'm nervous about it. You know, they're adding bathrooms to
some of the metro stations as well. Okay, you know
I saw one of these mobile units in the Pasadena
station and you know, they look okay right again in
a pinch, a panda express pinch.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
They did this before you arrived, before you, you know,
flew in from Kentucky. But they took There's a lot
of drugs and a lot of sex acts going on
in the public beach bathrooms. So their solution was to
take down all the doors and all the walls, and
so there's like four toilets next to each other. You
just sit there with the other fellas and enjoy yourself.
(12:48):
It's like prison, that's right, it's it's worse.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's worse. Yeah, sports than prison. Oh man, you can't
leave the house. All right, let's talk about e bykes
real quick. We've got real quick. Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Do you know Huntington Beach apparently has more e bike
acts sidence and anywhere else in the site.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Well, they know it, and they've been keeping stats on
this specifically because what the heck is going on in
Huntington Beach And it's apparently more than half of them
involve youth. And so they had a press conference a
day and announced that they are offering a new free
e bike safety program. They had one hundred and forty
seven crashes involving e bikes. Wow, last year, Yeah, they
say they've already surpassed that this year. Really how urgent
(13:25):
it is in Huntington Beach. It's wild down there.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
So they've got a new class seventy minutes basically think
driver's ed. They on Motorsite's exactly right. It's like, if
you're going to be out on the road driving around,
you better have some education. So it's almost like getting
a license is voluntary, it's not mandatory, but it's apparently
such a big deal.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
The mayor was there, the police chief. Everyone's like, we've
got this new free class. Please sign up for it.
We got to get you down here to learn so
you stop getting yourselves killed. Haven't you go to the
bikes yet?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I don't own a bike. I would occasionally do one
of those metro bikes. Okay, I don't have one. All
my friends who have who lived in the beach, they
all have one and they love it.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
They swear it's the best things ever they've ever purchased.
I like to walk, okay, all right, I.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Like to ride.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Monks. Thanks for coming in seven to nine on Saturday.
You got it. See thanks listening for you.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Then you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
All right, we've got a shooter in Santa Monica. Let's
get right into it. It's breaking news. They're promising a
press conference before five o'clock. It's a big story coming
out of Santa Monica. Somebody's shooting, somebody's shooting at the cops.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Finally, we are expecting an update from police officers within
the hour. Earlier, we were over by that Santa Monica
Place mall where the shooting occurred, but that has since
been cleared and the order to shelter in place has
since been lifted. Just fight an ongoing search for this
armed suspect. Now, as you mentioned this suspect, it's believed
(14:56):
that he was involved in the shooting of a way
mow over weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And please will.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
They apparently recognized him as.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Waymos can't get a break, they're on fire, they're being
shot at.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
Please will. They apparently recognized him and they were closing
in on him near the Santa Monica Place Mall this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't know where the weaymo hatred is coming from.
I don't get it. There's nobody in the sucker.
Speaker 10 (15:18):
When he allegedly shot at a Santa Monica police officer,
one of the newest officers on the forest injuring his hand.
He somehow got away and now heavily armed. Police have
been scouring the downtown area for the suspect, who's considered
armed and dangerous.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Okay, that was the story.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Now here is the updates of law enforcement had been
tracking the suspect's movement, possible sightings. Different cameras have caught
him on tape. There have been witnesses calling in. They
now believe they have that suspect. It is a possible
suspect at this point until we have firm confirmation, but
they are treating this as a strong possible as they
take somebody into custody at Pallisades Park right along the
(15:57):
Santa Monica incline here in Santa Mona, just off of
Ocean Avenue. There are teams of law enforcement now moving
into this area. They had him a gut point for
a short time. He did not appear to be putting
up a fight, but he is still It does look
like a little bit of a struggle as they try
and take him into custody here. We will hopefully have
a firm identity here in the coming minutes. But again,
(16:19):
one person being detained here at Pallisades Park in Santa
Monica believed to be connected to that shooting just a
few hours ago. Reporting live Front Air seven. I'm Chris Christy,
ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
We just do all right, Thank you, Chris Christy up
flying over Santa Monica. Santa Monica is a really dumb
place to shoot at the cops. There's a lot of them.
They don't have a lot to do, so they stepped
you real quick. They get there real quick, and they
often find you. And when you shoot at them, they're
really aggressive when they come on you. When they come
(16:49):
up on you, they're really aggressive. So I would not
shoot cops anywhere, but Santa Monica is a real no no.
Hey got a lot of greatquipment and a lot of
cops in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Don't do it. Don't do it. Lyle is that guy's
name is Lyle. Don't do it, Lyle.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
It's high confidence. Another update, it's high confidence now that
they have the suspect in custody. That's the suspect right
there up against that Santa Monica patrol car. They also
have the weapon in their custody as well. They have
recovered the firearm or short time ago at Pallisades Park
here along Ocean and Idaho Avenue. Santa Monica Police plenty
to give an update at a press conference coming up
(17:31):
at four forty five, reporting live Fremeier seven. I'm Chris Christy,
ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, don't do it, Lyle, don't do it, Lyle. I
don't think it is uh Lyle Menendez, but I'm sure
it's probably not. I think he's still incarcerated. So they
got their guy. And when you shoot at a cop
in the County of Los Angeles, which Santa Monica is,
they're going to prosecute you like you've never seen before
(17:57):
in your life. You're probably looking at twenty, maybe thirty
years in prison for that stupid act. It's a dumb
thing to do, really dumb thing to do.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But look, we all know this. They're dumb people everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
When you leave your house, you almost instantly run into
dumb people driving, littering, doing crazy crap with bicycles, wizzen
on the streets, robbing people, robbing stores. A lot of dumb,
dumb folks out here in southern California, and you've seen them,
You see them every day, and maybe you work with
(18:36):
some of them. You know, maybe some of the people
in the workplace are also morons. And I'm not talking about,
you know, just dumb people that can't add or read
or write, but I'm talking about people do aggressive, aggressively
dumb things, and you see them all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Los Anxiety is what they should change this name, the
name of Los Angeles to Lost Anxiety, the house of anxiety.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Everybody's anxious, everybody's crazy. All right. We are going to
take a break here.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
If there's a press conference about the shooter in Santa Monica,
will break in and we will take that live. I'm
sure we will have more details on how this unfolded.
They think it's the same guy who was shooting at
the Waimo cars, So we'll find out. Another guy making
life interesting, as George Carlin calls him, life's most interesting guys.
(19:31):
And we live amongst them. There's a lot of them
out there, aren't we lucky? A lot of them out there.
You see him all the time, Life's most interesting guys. Also,
we have a story here where in Brentwood, not a
crappy part of town, if you don't mind me observing.
And they had a homeless guy who they've been calling
the cops on for a year, and he's been abusing
(19:53):
the neighbors for at least a year year and a half.
And the cops come out, they kick him out, he
comes back the same day and they can't do anything.
Everybody's being held hostage by crazy homeless people. If you
have one in your neighborhood, you're a hostage to that
guy or gal.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
There's not what you can do, not what you can do.
Cops come out, their hands are tied. He can't really
do anything. You can't move them physically, and that's too dangerous.
So I'll tell you about that story when we come back.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
No press conference yet of the Santa Monica shooting, but
as soon as that happens, we will have that for
you live on KFI. But what we now understand, let's
go back to the setup story and find out a
little more about what this chap was doing. Evidently he
shot at some Waimo cars and shot at a police officer,
(20:52):
hitting a rookie police officer. Guy's been on the job
for nine seconds and he gets shot. Most cops go
an entire career without ever getting shot at, most of
them high high percentage of them. This guy gets shot
on you know, lacing his boots up for the first time.
It's unbelievable the luck this guy has when he.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
Allegedly shot at a Santa Monica police officer, one of
the newest officers on the forest, injuring his hand. He
somehow got away and now heavily armed. Police have been
scouring the downtown area for the suspect, who's considered armed
and dangerous. We spoke to the Santa Monica mayor this
afternoon and here's what she had to say about why
this suspect is wanted by police.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
And by the way, they got a guy who they
are ninety nine point nine percent sure is the shooter.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's related to an incident.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
That happened over the weekend with the way Mouth shooting,
and they had a perimeter and I don't know the
details of what happened and how he got shot, but
in the suspect escaping. He did strike the officer in
the hand, so fortunately it's non life threatening. Unfortunately the
some minister on the list.
Speaker 10 (22:02):
Yes, and again this search continues at this hour. Santa
Monica police describe him as being a blackmail in his thirties,
wearing a dark jacket and black pants.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And so that's exactly the description of the guy they
just tackled about fifteen minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
If you do see this person, you are urged call
nine one one and remember please are cast neary Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
All right, So then they caught this guy and now
he's off to do some speed wrapping and he'll be
answering a lot of questions.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
We've got that press.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Come all right, here we go. It's coming up on
ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Looks like the chief is out there, some reporters out
there for ABC seven Leo, and he.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
Is believed to have been responses enough for shooting two
teams in a way.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
MO let's listen.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
So good afternoon.
Speaker 13 (22:50):
I want to provide you with an update on the
shooting that occurred earlier today involving one of our officers.
Shortly after one pm, an officer recognized an individual believed
to be wanted in connection with a prior incident. After
ident identify himself as a police officer, a short foot
pursuit ensued where the officer was ambushed. The suspect fired
(23:11):
multiple rounds at the officer and fled the area on foot.
The officer was seriously injured, but as in stable condition
and receiving medical care, fellow officers quickly rendered aid and
transported him to a local hospital. We are entirely grateful
to the hospital staff for their swift and professional care.
The healthcare professionals at this particular hospital have been amazing,
(23:36):
and we are thankful to our residents for their assistance
throughout this crisis. Now, this marks the second time in
just eight months that a Santa Monica Police officer has
been seriously injured in the line of duty, one stabbed
and the other one shot. The officer who was stabbed
continues to recover. Now, these incidents are a sobering reminder
(23:57):
of the dangerous faced by those who serve our community
and call for all of us to lead with civility, compassion,
and respect for one another. Now, I'm glad to report
I am glad to report that the suspect involved in
today's assault was arrested at four to twenty pm in
Santa Monica by Santa Monica Police officers after we receive
(24:20):
a tip from a resident who saw someone matching the
suspect's description in the area. The weapon used in the
assault has also been recovered. In this case, there was
another short furt pursuit, however, no use of force was effected.
I want to acknowledge our brothers and sisters at the
(24:41):
Los Angeles Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Beverly
Hills Police Department, diel Segundo Police Apartment, our amazing brothers
at UCLAPD Hawthorn PD, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department,
and again, we didn't do this alone. I sincerely appreciate
(25:04):
our community's continued support and cooperation during the past several
tense hours. The last I want to credit the men
and women of the Santa Monica Police Department. They showed courage, calm,
in the highest levels of professionalism today, both during the
relentless investigation and certainly during the arrest. I could not
(25:26):
I could not be more proud of them today. Additional
updates will be shared through social media, and I want
to thank you, so I'll have our Mayor London Negrete
that make a short statement and then I will take
your questions.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Mayor Monica shooting.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
I think our Santa Monica Police Department are chief and
everyone involved. I also want to thank the residents who
clearly participated not only today but can continue to do
so have in the past, and support our local police
department here. I also want to echo the gratity.
Speaker 6 (25:58):
And you're listening to a life press conference in.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Santa Monica shooting guy who they think shot at to
Waimo and then also shot at a police officer. He
was driving a white pickup truck and he has now
been taken into custody. So Santa Monica, the emergency is
over for now. But a crazy day, another crazy day
in Southern California. We're live on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Now you can always hear us live on KFI AM
six forty four to seven pm Monday through Friday, and
anytime on demand on the iHeart Radio app.
It's KFI AM six forty and you're listening to the
Conway Show on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. KFI AM
six forty. It's Conway Show. Let's get right to Alex Stone,
who's with us from ABC News. A growing call in
California for federal agents who are conducting immigration and forcemen
to drop their masks.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Alex Stone, how you Bob ding Don?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Tim Dong with you? So we're sort of getting back
to a little bit. I saw news today other than
the ice raids, and.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I'm wondering, Look, you work in news. I work in news.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Are there still stores being robbed and jewelry stores being
robbed and we're not seeing it because the immigration is
taking up all the oxygen?
Speaker 4 (00:43):
You know, there may be I mean, I mean there's
low level ones, but all the like sophisticated ones that
were going on. It seems like that we've had a
little break in those that. Yeah, yeah, like out in
seem Me Valley and other places where they were having
them crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, I haven't heard of any of those.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
And then today the police shooting in Santa The officer
who was shot at it doesn't sound like he shot
back in Santa Monica that we're learning about now. So yeah,
I mean there are other things that go on, but yeah,
we're kind of getting back to regular news man.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Doesn't it seem like this is going to be a
summer of just tension?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
It does?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
You know?
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Where we're what like three weeks in the what we
would consider to be summer, and it's been NonStop.
Speaker 6 (01:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
So the issue that is cropping up is in these
immigration arrests that are going on all over southern California
since the push by the administration over the last few weeks.
Is that like yesterday, the LAPD went racing lights and
sirens to what was called in as a kidnapping in
downtown LA and they got there and turned out to
(01:41):
be federal agents making immigration arrests. Like two weeks ago,
there was a hit and run that was reported that
people had crashed into a car and taken somebody out
of there, and they got there and LAPD traffic officers
were investigating later to find out it was an ice
operation to arrest somebody. So there's a lot of mistake
and identity going on. And then also you have community
(02:04):
activist groups who want to make that report and are
calling it in claiming that they're kidnappings. But typically the
federal agents are completely well except for their eyes, covering
their faces with masks or with gator type coverings. They
refuse to say anything of what they're doing to anybody there.
They don't wear uniforms. They wear street clothing and usually
professional sport team baseball hats. They often not always have
(02:28):
tactical vests on that don't clearly indicate what agency they're with.
It'll say police or federal agent on it, but that's it,
or it'll stay very small somewhere what agency it is,
but not from a distancy, you can see no name,
no badge number, no ID number. They're driving on marked
civilian looking typically minivans and SUVs, and they jump out,
sometimes very quickly. We'll grab their target and get out
(02:50):
of there before a crowd can gather. Understandably, why with
what's been going on, But that is why now some
lawmakers in the state that they want a law that
will say that law enforcement has to be more identifiable,
that they look more like what we would think of
as law enforcement. State tender Scott Wiener, a Democrat, said.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Law enforcement officers or public servants and people should be
able to see their faces, see who they are, know
who they are. Otherwise there's no transparency and no accountability.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
So what is bill would do? It require the law
enforcement uncover their faces, with some exceptions a swat team
or if there's tear gas in the air or a
virus or smoke, then they could do it, but just
in regular operations that they wouldn't be able to do
it and have some kind of uniform and identifying information
of what agency they're from, and even if it's a
serial number that it would go back to them internally
(03:42):
if somebody were to know that number and to prove
that they're real cops. Part of the issue has been
and police have always dealt with it really around the world,
but here in the US is police impersonators who are
out there who by all appearance, you know a lot
of these agents kind of look like police impersonators.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
That with any big numbers or at all, I mean it.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Has historically it has a lot of times when there're
been burglaries, people will yell police and come in and
try to look like police. So you know, if a
criminal yells police and as a best on to rob
somebody or kidnaps them, how do you know if it's
an operation that is legit or not. So that's where
the lawmakers are saying, Hey, is there some kind of
uniform something that can make them look more efficient.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
I don't need law enforcement officers who are covering their faces,
who are not identifying themselves, who are jumping out of
unmarked vehicles.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
Now, the other side of this is within law enforcement,
the uncovering the faces worries because of these groups that
will try to identify them and put their names and
addresses online and put their families at risk, and that
that is a real concern. Bill Thomas, you know his name,
former sheriff's deputy law enforcement analysts. Now he says that's
a real concern.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
There are certain bad actor groups that go out there
and will target law enforcement and even public officials to
identify them on the internet, their families, loved ones.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
So there's a number of things that you know, the
FEDS are probably going to continue doing whatever they want
to do, and they typically don't wear a real uniform
when they go and do it. But there could be
a middle ground some cities what they have done now
outside of LA I think even the Sheriff's department does
this a bit now, where it's just a number on
their chest that publicly it doesn't mean anything. But if
you say, well, I had a bad interaction with eight five,
(05:21):
six nine one, then they can look up who that
was and figure it out. But so there could be
a law. But you know what, if the state of
California passes a law that would impact local and state police,
the FEDS could probably just continue doing whatever they want
to do.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Oh, I say, okay, but you know Tom Holman, who
I believe it's the acting Director of US Immigration and
custom Behind.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, it was the Immigrations are I think is what
the White House calls him.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yet he is not living with his wife because he
has had so many threats against him. Yeah, and so
I said to my wife, I'd go, hey, you know,
LA's pretty tense. Maybe we should die use different homes
for the next three years while this calms down. Shit,
just in case somebody thinks he went on RAI. She
didn't bite, she didn't, she didn't do it. But he's
(06:04):
living separately from his wife. So, you know, because there
a lot there's a lot of anxiety out there right now.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I mean, it's even be an issue for the LAPD
over the years of groups that have put up their
officers photos and their their ranks and all of that.
I think there's two different issues here. One, you've got
the covering of the faces, which I mean, quite honestly,
when you're out and seeing this, it does kind of
look like the images that we've always seen out of Mexico.
You know when agents capture somebody and then take photos
and they've got sunglasses on and masks over their faces,
(06:32):
black masks. It's that same look that's going on right
now in the US with our federal agents. But separately
from that is the issue of the no uniforms and
the unmarked cars, and the limited identifying information on vests
and sometimes no vests and just street clothes. That that
is where it's running into an issue for the LAPD
(06:52):
and i'm sure other agencies as well, where they're not
briefed on what's going on because of the separation between
the laws of Feds and low what they can do,
where they're going Code three to these calls thinking that
they're racing hot to a kidnapping and it turns out, oh,
it's just another ice raid.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
That so that backfired.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
You know, they told everybody to report a kidnapping and
that backfired.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, I mean it's the hidden run.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Seems like that that was a true where the onlookers
thought it was a hit and run, that they didn't
understand what was going on.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
About two weeks ago the kidnapping, we don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
There were activists who were there who are making the
claims that it was still a kidnapping and that the
LAPD help them with the kidnapping. The LAPD says no,
that they had to do what they always do to
get peace in the streets and move everybody back, and
they're not going to allow federal agents to be injured,
but they're not going to take part in the actual operation.
So what they got was a very urgent nine one
one call of a kidnapping. If that caller knew it
(07:46):
was federal agents or believed it was really.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
A kidnapping, isn't really clear.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Crazy buddy, appreciate you coming on. Are you could do
anything for the fourth? You staying in town. I'll be
working on the fourth, so I'll be around.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
All right, I will too.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, Well, Roger and Roll, that's right, buddy. Thanks man,
you're the best. All right, Alex Stone with ABC News.
That guy's tops man. I always enjoy starting the show
with that man. Very knowledgeable dude. That's what we should do, Belly, Yeah,
let's do that. Let's start with Alex Stone every day.
Then I can come in at four twenty for twenty
(08:18):
Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
No, I do not. That will not be happening. I
think it will.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
There's a not in Santa Monica shooting at cops. It
could be the same guy also shooting at the kids
in the waymow and we all have more on that story.
It's developing. It looks like they caught the guy and
we're gonna have audio on that when we come back
at four thirty. But first, Monks is here, Yes, look
at you, buddy. So we got a lot going on
in La There's a lot of it. The immigration's going on,
(08:53):
you know, the weather. We've got a small earthquake yesterday.
We've got you know, troops from National Guard, we've got
the Marines in town.
Speaker 8 (09:03):
But we also have other local news like toilets. You know,
there's it is kind of a serious thing when you
think about it. Think about when you're driving around the
city proper. Now when you're out in the suburbs, the suburbs,
it's a differently. When I go out to the suburbs,
I think, oh my god, there's no code to go
to the bathroom. My deodorants not locked up like alcatraz I.
Speech in and grab it.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
There are many parts of Los Angeles where if you
are out and about and you've got to take a leak, yeah,
there's nowhere to go, not even gas stations exactly, you
just cannot go. They're trying to change that, and they
push forward a policy at City Hall today to place
a public toilet in Hollywood near the Walk of Fame.
(09:45):
Nothing about it's a big tourist attract Think of all
the touris that hit the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's
one of the muss seas if you come to LA
and you got nowhere to drop a deuce or or
to take a leak, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
And so they're trying to fix that.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
And Councilman Hugo Soda Martinez, who represents Hollywood at LA
City Hall, here's a he did a lot of puns.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Okay, so I pulled the sound for you. Would you
like to hear it? All right? Foos shut Stephie doesn't
have that sound bite he's eating. He's got to look
it up. Well. You know, he talked about it as
if it was a very serious thing.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
You know that this was something that he wanted to
get on as soon as he got into office. That
there was just absolutely nowhere to use the restroom in Hollywood.
Let's hear from him.
Speaker 9 (10:32):
I thought it was outrageous that the number one most
famous tourist destination in the world had no place for
you to go number two. And together with the Hollywood Partnership,
we rolled up our sleeves and took care of business.
But within a year or so you'll finally be able
to take a break in Hollywood's You don't have to
(10:54):
hold it in anymore. And before you start pooh pooing
this motion, these bathrooms will be clean, fully staffed, and
part of the new visitor center in the heart of
Hollywood that will help to risk get around. By the way, who.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Wrote these tps? Oh my god, So be on.
Speaker 9 (11:13):
The lookout for your invitation to the first inaugural Flesh
in Hollywood, Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
These are going to come in around a million. Two yeah,
probably if we know LA.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
So they're entering into a lease agreement to spend about
a Los Angeles is expected to provide one million dollars
through what is known as Community Redevelopment Agency at the
City of Los Angeles. Excess bond proceeds to fundness. It
will also have, as he noted, a visitor center attached
to it. They promised to keep it clean and safe.
Will you use that bathroom?
Speaker 9 (11:46):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
It depends on which Panda Express I use. How urgent
the situation is. By the way, I got to call
Mark Thompson's one day Ruter and Plumbing or whatever that is,
because I my plumber, said one more Panda.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Express run and he's done. Yeah, you're gonna have to
go higher. He's out. We're too.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I think I'd use it if it's clean, but it's
not going to be. You know, we know that.
Speaker 8 (12:11):
I'm nervous about it. You know, they're adding bathrooms to
some of the metro stations as well. Okay, you know
I saw one of these mobile units in the Pasadena
station and you know, they look okay right again in
a pinch, a panda express pinch.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
They did this before you arrived, before you, you know,
flew in from Kentucky. But they took There's a lot
of drugs and a lot of sex acts going on
in the public beach bathrooms. So their solution was to
take down all the doors and all the walls, and
so there's like four toilets next to each other. You
just sit there with the other fellas and enjoy yourself.
(12:48):
It's like prison, that's right, it's it's worse.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's worse. Yeah, sports than prison. Oh man, you can't
leave the house. All right, let's talk about e bykes
real quick. We've got real quick. Absolutely.
Speaker 8 (12:57):
Do you know Huntington Beach apparently has more e bike
acts sidence and anywhere else in the site.
Speaker 9 (13:01):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Well, they know it, and they've been keeping stats on
this specifically because what the heck is going on in
Huntington Beach And it's apparently more than half of them
involve youth. And so they had a press conference a
day and announced that they are offering a new free
e bike safety program. They had one hundred and forty
seven crashes involving e bikes. Wow, last year, Yeah, they
say they've already surpassed that this year. Really how urgent
(13:25):
it is in Huntington Beach. It's wild down there.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah, that is crazy.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
So they've got a new class seventy minutes basically think
driver's ed. They on Motorsite's exactly right. It's like, if
you're going to be out on the road driving around,
you better have some education. So it's almost like getting
a license is voluntary, it's not mandatory, but it's apparently
such a big deal.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
The mayor was there, the police chief. Everyone's like, we've
got this new free class. Please sign up for it.
We got to get you down here to learn so
you stop getting yourselves killed. Haven't you go to the
bikes yet?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I don't own a bike. I would occasionally do one
of those metro bikes. Okay, I don't have one. All
my friends who have who lived in the beach, they
all have one and they love it.
Speaker 6 (14:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
They swear it's the best things ever they've ever purchased.
I like to walk, okay, all right, I.
Speaker 6 (14:07):
Like to ride.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Monks. Thanks for coming in seven to nine on Saturday.
You got it. See thanks listening for you.
Speaker 6 (14:14):
Then you're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
All right, we've got a shooter in Santa Monica. Let's
get right into it. It's breaking news. They're promising a
press conference before five o'clock. It's a big story coming
out of Santa Monica. Somebody's shooting, somebody's shooting at the cops.
Speaker 10 (14:36):
Finally, we are expecting an update from police officers within
the hour. Earlier, we were over by that Santa Monica
Place mall where the shooting occurred, but that has since
been cleared and the order to shelter in place has
since been lifted. Just fight an ongoing search for this
armed suspect. Now, as you mentioned this suspect, it's believed
(14:56):
that he was involved in the shooting of a way
mow over weekend.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And please will.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
They apparently recognized him as.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Waymos can't get a break, they're on fire, they're being
shot at.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
Please will. They apparently recognized him and they were closing
in on him near the Santa Monica Place Mall this afternoon.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't know where the weaymo hatred is coming from.
I don't get it. There's nobody in the sucker.
Speaker 10 (15:18):
When he allegedly shot at a Santa Monica police officer,
one of the newest officers on the forest injuring his hand.
He somehow got away and now heavily armed. Police have
been scouring the downtown area for the suspect, who's considered
armed and dangerous.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Okay, that was the story.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Now here is the updates of law enforcement had been
tracking the suspect's movement, possible sightings. Different cameras have caught
him on tape. There have been witnesses calling in. They
now believe they have that suspect. It is a possible
suspect at this point until we have firm confirmation, but
they are treating this as a strong possible as they
take somebody into custody at Pallisades Park right along the
(15:57):
Santa Monica incline here in Santa Mona, just off of
Ocean Avenue. There are teams of law enforcement now moving
into this area. They had him a gut point for
a short time. He did not appear to be putting
up a fight, but he is still It does look
like a little bit of a struggle as they try
and take him into custody here. We will hopefully have
a firm identity here in the coming minutes. But again,
(16:19):
one person being detained here at Pallisades Park in Santa
Monica believed to be connected to that shooting just a
few hours ago. Reporting live Front Air seven. I'm Chris Christy,
ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
We just do all right, Thank you, Chris Christy up
flying over Santa Monica. Santa Monica is a really dumb
place to shoot at the cops. There's a lot of them.
They don't have a lot to do, so they stepped
you real quick. They get there real quick, and they
often find you. And when you shoot at them, they're
really aggressive when they come on you. When they come
(16:49):
up on you, they're really aggressive. So I would not
shoot cops anywhere, but Santa Monica is a real no no.
Hey got a lot of greatquipment and a lot of
cops in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Don't do it. Don't do it. Lyle is that guy's
name is Lyle. Don't do it, Lyle.
Speaker 5 (17:09):
It's high confidence. Another update, it's high confidence now that
they have the suspect in custody. That's the suspect right
there up against that Santa Monica patrol car. They also
have the weapon in their custody as well. They have
recovered the firearm or short time ago at Pallisades Park
here along Ocean and Idaho Avenue. Santa Monica Police plenty
to give an update at a press conference coming up
(17:31):
at four forty five, reporting live Fremeier seven. I'm Chris Christy,
ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Yeah, don't do it, Lyle, don't do it, Lyle. I
don't think it is uh Lyle Menendez, but I'm sure
it's probably not. I think he's still incarcerated. So they
got their guy. And when you shoot at a cop
in the County of Los Angeles, which Santa Monica is,
they're going to prosecute you like you've never seen before
(17:57):
in your life. You're probably looking at twenty, maybe thirty
years in prison for that stupid act. It's a dumb
thing to do, really dumb thing to do.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
But look, we all know this. They're dumb people everywhere.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
When you leave your house, you almost instantly run into
dumb people driving, littering, doing crazy crap with bicycles, wizzen
on the streets, robbing people, robbing stores. A lot of dumb,
dumb folks out here in southern California, and you've seen them,
You see them every day, and maybe you work with
(18:36):
some of them. You know, maybe some of the people
in the workplace are also morons. And I'm not talking about,
you know, just dumb people that can't add or read
or write, but I'm talking about people do aggressive, aggressively
dumb things, and you see them all the time.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Welcome to Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Los Anxiety is what they should change this name, the
name of Los Angeles to Lost Anxiety, the house of anxiety.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Everybody's anxious, everybody's crazy. All right. We are going to
take a break here.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
If there's a press conference about the shooter in Santa Monica,
will break in and we will take that live. I'm
sure we will have more details on how this unfolded.
They think it's the same guy who was shooting at
the Waimo cars, So we'll find out. Another guy making
life interesting, as George Carlin calls him, life's most interesting guys.
(19:31):
And we live amongst them. There's a lot of them
out there, aren't we lucky? A lot of them out there.
You see him all the time, Life's most interesting guys. Also,
we have a story here where in Brentwood, not a
crappy part of town, if you don't mind me observing.
And they had a homeless guy who they've been calling
the cops on for a year, and he's been abusing
(19:53):
the neighbors for at least a year year and a half.
And the cops come out, they kick him out, he
comes back the same day and they can't do anything.
Everybody's being held hostage by crazy homeless people. If you
have one in your neighborhood, you're a hostage to that
guy or gal.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
And I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
There's not what you can do, not what you can do.
Cops come out, their hands are tied. He can't really
do anything. You can't move them physically, and that's too dangerous.
So I'll tell you about that story when we come back.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on de Mayo from
KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
No press conference yet of the Santa Monica shooting, but
as soon as that happens, we will have that for
you live on KFI. But what we now understand, let's
go back to the setup story and find out a
little more about what this chap was doing. Evidently he
shot at some Waimo cars and shot at a police officer,
(20:52):
hitting a rookie police officer. Guy's been on the job
for nine seconds and he gets shot. Most cops go
an entire career without ever getting shot at, most of
them high high percentage of them. This guy gets shot
on you know, lacing his boots up for the first time.
It's unbelievable the luck this guy has when he.
Speaker 10 (21:14):
Allegedly shot at a Santa Monica police officer, one of
the newest officers on the forest, injuring his hand. He
somehow got away and now heavily armed. Police have been
scouring the downtown area for the suspect, who's considered armed
and dangerous. We spoke to the Santa Monica mayor this
afternoon and here's what she had to say about why
this suspect is wanted by police.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
And by the way, they got a guy who they
are ninety nine point nine percent sure is the shooter.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
It's related to an incident.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
That happened over the weekend with the way Mouth shooting,
and they had a perimeter and I don't know the
details of what happened and how he got shot, but
in the suspect escaping. He did strike the officer in
the hand, so fortunately it's non life threatening. Unfortunately the
some minister on the list.
Speaker 10 (22:02):
Yes, and again this search continues at this hour. Santa
Monica police describe him as being a blackmail in his thirties,
wearing a dark jacket and black pants.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And so that's exactly the description of the guy they
just tackled about fifteen minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
If you do see this person, you are urged call
nine one one and remember please are cast neary Okay.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
All right, So then they caught this guy and now
he's off to do some speed wrapping and he'll be
answering a lot of questions.
Speaker 12 (22:32):
We've got that press.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
Come all right, here we go. It's coming up on
ABC seven.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
Looks like the chief is out there, some reporters out
there for ABC seven Leo, and he.
Speaker 10 (22:43):
Is believed to have been responses enough for shooting two
teams in a way.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
MO let's listen.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
So good afternoon.
Speaker 13 (22:50):
I want to provide you with an update on the
shooting that occurred earlier today involving one of our officers.
Shortly after one pm, an officer recognized an individual believed
to be wanted in connection with a prior incident. After
ident identify himself as a police officer, a short foot
pursuit ensued where the officer was ambushed. The suspect fired
(23:11):
multiple rounds at the officer and fled the area on foot.
The officer was seriously injured, but as in stable condition
and receiving medical care, fellow officers quickly rendered aid and
transported him to a local hospital. We are entirely grateful
to the hospital staff for their swift and professional care.
The healthcare professionals at this particular hospital have been amazing,
(23:36):
and we are thankful to our residents for their assistance
throughout this crisis. Now, this marks the second time in
just eight months that a Santa Monica Police officer has
been seriously injured in the line of duty, one stabbed
and the other one shot. The officer who was stabbed
continues to recover. Now, these incidents are a sobering reminder
(23:57):
of the dangerous faced by those who serve our community
and call for all of us to lead with civility, compassion,
and respect for one another. Now, I'm glad to report
I am glad to report that the suspect involved in
today's assault was arrested at four to twenty pm in
Santa Monica by Santa Monica Police officers after we receive
(24:20):
a tip from a resident who saw someone matching the
suspect's description in the area. The weapon used in the
assault has also been recovered. In this case, there was
another short furt pursuit, however, no use of force was effected.
I want to acknowledge our brothers and sisters at the
(24:41):
Los Angeles Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Beverly
Hills Police Department, diel Segundo Police Apartment, our amazing brothers
at UCLAPD Hawthorn PD, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department,
and again, we didn't do this alone. I sincerely appreciate
(25:04):
our community's continued support and cooperation during the past several
tense hours. The last I want to credit the men
and women of the Santa Monica Police Department. They showed courage, calm,
in the highest levels of professionalism today, both during the
relentless investigation and certainly during the arrest. I could not
(25:26):
I could not be more proud of them today. Additional
updates will be shared through social media, and I want
to thank you, so I'll have our Mayor London Negrete
that make a short statement and then I will take
your questions.
Speaker 2 (25:40):

Speaker 12 (25:43):

so have in the past, and support our local police
department here. I also want to echo the gratity.
