Here we go again another criminal committing crimes. No names yet but I am betting an extensive criminal history.


More at CNN...

(CNN) - An armed man barricaded himself inside a Trader Joe's grocery store in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon, prompting a massive police response with people still inside the store.
Here are the latest developments:
An unknown number of people are still inside the store in the Silver Lake neighborhood hours after the gunman ran inside, police said.
The suspect was pursued by police after a shooting and ran into the Trader Joe's when he crashed his car, police said.
Eighteen ambulances and more than 100 firefighters are at the scene of the incident, Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman David Ortiz said.
Events began with a shooting in the 1600 block of 32nd Street around 1:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. ET) in which an elderly woman and a young woman were victims, LAPD Officer Mike Lopez told CNN.
The suspect fled in a 2015 Toyota Camry and during a police pursuit, the suspect fired multiple rounds at officers, Lopez said. None of the officers was injured.

The chase ended when the suspect crashed the vehicle, got out and ran into the store on Hyperion Avenue in the Silver Lake neighborhood, Lopez said.
Customers immediately ran out of the store and police surrounded the building. Over the course of the standoff, several people walked out of the store with their hands up.

Hope they can talk him down without further casualties. Barring that, hope there is a permit holder waiting to take him out.

A good guy with a gun would be an ideal outcome. It would also be the end of the story. Good guys don't fit the agenda of the press.

Just feed him some of their yuppie soy/wheat grass/gluten free/cruelty free products to calm him down.

One female hostage killed all other released. Bad guy in custody. They did not say who fired shots, however they tried to save her on scene. She was pronounced dead on location.

Hopefully there's enough to this story to blame on "guns".

and once again banning certain handguns , limiting mag capacity, limiting (oh who are we kidding not allowing) concealed carry, creating as many gun free zones as possible and making what this guy did a criminal act prevents all that gun violence.

I should add that a female was dead and not said killed. She may have had a heart attack for all I know.

A shame if she died because of this scumbag criminal. California, you're guilty in this in disarming the populace.

We were out late last night vacation shopping/preparing and had dinner, went to different stores, etc.. I always carry when out with my family. I've been guilty of not carrying when I happen to run out by myself. This illustrates why that can be the wrong move.
