Pasadena shootings starting to look a lot like a gang war
It might have taken this a while to sink in because of the Thanksgiving break, etc. but we are having an awful lot of shootings recently in the city. This is just a guess on my part, but every time I've seen this happen here locally (read Monrovia) it turns out to be a breakout of violence based on two gangs working out a grudge (in Monrovia's case someone got released from jail and came back to settle a score.).
Just keep it in mind for when the full story comes out. Here is what we have for now:
PASADENA - The shooting of a 26-year-old woman on Thanksgiving Day appears to be gang-related, Pasadena Police officials said Monday.
The woman was shot several times early Thursday morning on residential Manzanita Avenue.
No arrests have been made, but the suspects are likely involved in gangs, Pasadena Police Lt. John Dewar said.
Police say they do not believe the woman's shooting is connected to a spate of earlier shootings in and around the city.
Over the past several weeks there have been two other reports of shootings in Pasadena and one in Altadena.
The first involved a 19-year- old man shot in front of a liquor store on Harriet Street in Altadena on Nov. 13. Later that night shots were fired near Newport Avenue and Idaho Street, but no one was reported injured.
On Nov. 18, a 30-year-old man was shot at on the 1900 block of Lundy Avenue but was not hit.
Pasadena Police detectives and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials are still investigating whether these earlier shootings were connected.
