Monrovia

[Hatin Since 87]

Received a text message that says “due to an ongoing incident in the monrovia area, surrounding schools are on lockdown. Students are safe, and will continue learning with a heightened police presence”

Anybody aware what the “incident” is?

I was wondering what was going on, state police, county, etc were all heading North about an hour or so ago.

Stay aware

Saw that report earlier. Way too many mental health problems are being fielded by LE.

Yup. Deputy apparently shot clean thru shoulder, shooter blew his baretta. Deputy should make full recovery. Kid announced on Facebook intent to eat bullet, deputies performed welfare check, he shot from inside house then ate his gun.

That was the event as described on the very reputable news source "Next Door".

Why couldn’t the nut job just eat his gun? At least the second shot was more effective than the first.

That is pretty close to what's been on the slightly more reputable news services. Next Door is definitely a 98% chaff, 2% wheat site. Maybe 95/5. For property crimes in the area there is some good info. The high-end night vision cameras on the garage/vehicle was unlocked videos are my favorites.
