The incident was reported at or near a car show at Peck Park, on N. Western Avenue just before 4 p.m. Police said although the shooting was in the vicinity of the show where hundreds of people had gathered, it did not appear the shooting happened at the show itself.

That's been gang territory for decades, with turf wars & gang-related shootings.

Thats every big city in the country. It will only get worse. All we can do is try to move farther away from these big cities.

We lived (past tense as of 2 weeks ago) on the border of Detroit. CONSTANT gun fire. The local joke is "was that fireworks again?". Local contractor friend that lives in the neighborhood said he often finds bullet holes in siding and roofs. My daughters neighbor, less than a block from the Detroit border, found a bullet lodged in his new Jeeps beltline weather strips (cat whiskers). Came straight down. He shared a picture online. I can only assume that the trajectory is intentional.

Doesn’t make sense….but that’s what happens when the Amish attend car shows. They need to stick with horses.

Latest news from 10 hours ago says not really Car Show related. It’s an event focused around a weekly softball game used to promote peace between gangs

Quote
A weekly softball game that for years has served to promote peace between Los Angeles-area gangs was marred by gunfire during the weekend that left two people dead and six wounded.

More than 500 people were in Peck Park in San Pedro Sunday afternoon to watch the softball teams play, barbecue with family and friends, and to show off and check out low-rider vehicles.

Just before 4 p.m., a dispute between two people escalated into a gunfight that spilled over onto the softball diamond. A barrage of shots was fired as people scrambled for cover.

Two men who were shot died at a hospital, while four women and two other men were in stable condition. No names have been released and no arrests made.

A local nonprofit organized the softball league about five years ago to safely bring together members of different Crips sets, according to gang interventionist Skipp Townsend. Sunday’s game — just weeks after the death of the league’s founder in a car wreck — was between teams from Compton.

“It broke my heart,” Townsend, who often attends the games, told The Associated Press on Monday. “We have these type of events so we don’t have shootings.”

On Sunday afternoon, Townsend and other community leaders were a few miles away from the park, participating in the monthly “Peace Ride” to promote solidarity in high-crime areas. A day later, Townsend was left to wonder if the violence might have been prevented had he and the others been at the park.

He said he would have told the combatants: “You’re not going to do it here. You’re not going to ruin what we have.”

Police have offered few details about the shooting, only saying it was “gang-related” and occurred at a permitted softball game after some kind of dispute. Investigators have not yet determined how many people opened fire.

Multiple guns were discovered at the location and recovered as evidence, authorities said.

“It’s Sunday afternoon, you should be able to go and enjoy the park,” said LAPD Capt. Kelly Muniz, a police spokesperson.

Officials initially said there were five people wounded and taken by paramedics to the hospital, but authorities found out later that a sixth victim went to a hospital in a private vehicle.

You just touched on one of AOC's premises. Global warming caused by fossil fuels is causing civil unrest and criminal behavior.
