The El Segundo Police Officers Association has established a trust fund for their two wounded officers and their families.

Donations may be made to the “El Segundo Police Heroes Fund” on behalf of Lt. Ray Garcia and Officer Scott O’Connor at the Washington Mutual Bank branch, 130 E. Grand Ave., El Segundo, California, 90245.

O’Connor and Garcia were wounded Friday night in a gunbattle with a parolee in the Pacific theaters lobby. The officers killed the gunman.

Wonderful gesture in donations for wounded officers families.
Nothing I have read so far has even hinted in some sort of collection for the injured civilian.
He is just as much a human being as the two police officers.
Some news reports don't even mention this guys' name. How strange.

No fund was established to help Devan Jackson, the injured civilian. But a few people did send him some donations and he appreciated that. He also got himself a new job...
