A rash of shootings in L.A. leaves 34 people shot in just the last week. LAPD Chief Michel Moore warning about the exploding violence. What's fueling the uptick in shootings? The plan to get the spiraling situation under control. Tonight at 11 from ABC7

LOS ANGELES -- Thirty-four people were shot in Los Angeles in the last week, and 23 of the shootings were concentrated within a"remarkably small area'' of the Los Angeles Police Department's 77th Street and Southeast divisions, Chief Michel Moore said Tuesday.

The shootings were primarily related to typical street violence, including disputes within gangs and between rival gangs, Moore said.The video above is from a previous report on the increase in follow-home robberies across L.A. The Southeast Division includes Athens Park, Avalon Gardens, Hacienda Village, Harbor Gateway, Imperial Courts, Gardena Boulevard, Jordan Downs, Nickerson Gardens, Parkside Manor and Watts.Additional LAPD patrols and engagement teams with the Mayor's Office of Gang Reduction and Youth Development Program were deployed to the area, according to Moore, who added that violence levels decreased on Saturday and Sunday and no further shootings were reported in the Southeast area.

Moore said that overall in April, the city has seen an increase in shooting violence and homicides,"which somewhat bucks the trend that we saw in the first three months of 2022,'' when shootings decreased compared to the previous year.

streetpeopleLA That’s nothing, Chicago gets that done before 10pm every Saturday!

Why is this shocking? Criminals are just being cited and released. Lots of $ to be made, territory to defend. Goods to sell on the street (this is SF but it's happening in LA as well)

So cops say. But they literally lie every time they speak so who knows

Wonder if this is a result of DA’s weak on crime?

And from what Gascone does they will be out in no time.

Your vote has consequences

We need Charles Bronson. DeathWish

California is the new Mexico. Been progressive since the early 1970's. Flood gates opened around 2000. Completely knocked down now.

That’s what’s happens when BLM says defund the police. They go out and start committing more crimes.

Honestly, I’m beginning to think there isn’t much policing happening in certain neighborhoods.

What a joke. Now they want law and order and defend the Police.

Sounds like Covid is over

Triple penalties. End crime. Raise penalties until there is a reaction. That’s the threshold.

Liberal policies in action. You get what you deserve.....

If my son was doing this I would turn him in

It’s been crazy in California last ten years …..l

I think the police have a lot to do with it when you let them get away with murder and don’t hole them accountable for their actions people just go out and do what they feel like doing cause they think the same way

But but but ACAB. Right?!! 🤣

I am shocked and appalled. We so obviously need more gun control than we already have. UNLEASH MORE LEGISLATION ON LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS!

I call it more than troubling anyone caught shooting someone SEND them to the WAR I have been saying for years NO WE just want to build more JAILS

As long as Gascon is on the office, the criminal activities will continue. Sadly

Again ABC7 has a chance to do some real reporting but instead they choose to just reprint garbage news from City News services.

This is what you get for electing a DA that doesn’t punish crime.

Sorry Huey Lewis.

Just another day in paradise.

It's called GASCON

There is no respect for law-enforcement and that’s one of the reasons why people are going crazy you hold the police accountable for their actions maybe people would have more trust in the police but when you have the union and they investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing

“Strict gun/firearms laws in California don’t stop criminals from obtaining them, they prevent law abiding citizens from legally purchasing and owning them for personal protection!” 😡😠

TRUMP Era gun softening rules

There is no penalty for people committing crimes. You want to stop gun violence punish people.

Spiritual Warfare at its best...Can't wait to see this plan. Understanding the Human mind that can be so wicked...Seeking wisdom might be a start. Shalom!

Yes, it will get worse and nobody will do anything about it either. Such is life in a DemocratRunShithole

What’s fueling it? Gascon, Garcetti and Newsom.

What’s fueling the violence? It’s Democrats! You can try to polish this turd but the day you went from journalists to news activists and actors people realized everything you spew is a narrative. Disgusting.

South Central making a comeback

And it’s only Tuesday!

This world is a hot mess and it will get even worst.

LA is Gotham City now

Thanks, Gascón! Love ya, buddy!

Current California’s criminal system is telling every criminals that it’s ok to commit burglary, robbery, & violences. There’s no repercussions for committing crimes. Every criminals know that. It’s the beginning of a failing society. This will be on the liberal politicians.

Gentle reminder that there’s a proposed bill in congress to close down all federal prisons within ten year. Keep voting liberal ✊🏼

No one else to blame but GeorgeGascon

Seems like we have a gun problem. Who. Would. Have. Thought.

lalovestrump Maybe if we didn’t black purples a free pass and prosecute them like everyone else. But then we have that. DA

you think thats bad, wait till the rest of South America arrives (caravan)

More ABC7 Copaganda!! LOL

Defund Black Lives Matter! Take their money and give it to the police

Are Demorats in LA competing against Democraps in Chicago? 🤬🙈🖕🤔

To everyone who voted for DA Gascon ~ this is 💯on YOU.

LA política

Remember when Newsom released all those prisoners?

Lmao I’m telling you they hiring fucking lames!! I wish there was 50 Pedros in LA we be good

Could it be all the criminals we let out of prison early? Maybe the no bail policies?
